The Best Places to Visit in Kaunas
Old Town
- The stunning medieval old town of Kaunas has architecture that is quite different from that of Vilnius' old town.
- Kaunas was historically important as a trade center during the Hanseatic League era, and many of the buildings in the old town have German architectural influences.
- Furthermore, compared to Vilnius, Kaunas suffered less destruction during the Soviet era, so more of the old architecture is original.
- Vilniaus gatve is the most beautiful street in the old town.
- Visitors will need to use an underground passage to get from Laisves pr. to the old town and the new part of the city, which is difficult to access with strollers.
Ninth Fort
- The Ninth Fort is a chilling memorial and museum built on the site of a former fort that once protected Kaunas during its time as the temporary capital of Lithuania during the interwar period.
- The Ninth Fort was the site of mass murder during WWII, with an estimated 50,000 Lithuanians and Jews killed.
- The Ninth Fort museum and memorial, though not for the faint of heart, gives visitors a glimpse into Lithuania's difficult recent history.
- Visitors may need to take a taxi or rent a car to get to the Ninth Fort, which is located quite far outside of Kaunas' city center.
- The cost of admission to the Ninth Fort is €3 for adults.
Devil's Museum
- This one-of-a-kind museum houses a collection of over 2,000 devil depictions from around the world.
- Paintings, carvings, sculptures, and even soft toys depicting the devil will be on display, each with a description of its age and origin.
- Although a visit to the museum is more about observing these items than reading every detail, the English descriptions of the objects are hit or miss.
- The Devil's Museum is a great place to go if you're looking for something a little different.
Pazaislis Monastery
- The Pazaislis Monastery is about 7 kilometers outside of Kaunas' city center, but it is well worth a visit because it houses incredible frescoes by Italian painter Michelangelo Palloni.
- Furthermore, the Pazaislis Monastery is Lithuania's largest monastery and church complex, and it miraculously escaped destruction during the country's numerous wars.
- Visitors can marvel at the vibrant frescoes, stroll through the gardens, and dine in the on-site restaurant, which is highly rated.
Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul
- The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul (also known as the Kaunas Cathedral Basilica) is located in the old town and houses an icon from the 17th century that is said to have performed miracles.
- The cathedral's exterior is entirely made of red brick and incorporates Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.
- The magnificent organ in the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul should not be overlooked by visitors.
