Kaunas: A Unique City in Lithuania

Kaunas is an exciting city in Lithuania, nearly as old as its capital Vilnius. It is also an economic powerhouse of the country, located on Via Baltica, the main North-South route in Europe. During the interwar period, it was the informal capital of Lithuania, the seat of government and the residence of the president. And in 2022, Kaunas gained the prestigious honor of being named the European City of Culture!
