Review:
Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania and lies at the juncture of the two largest rivers in the country, Nemunas and Neris. It boasts historic and culturally rich attractions such as their medieval Old Town, which is dotted with churches at City Hall Square, as well as the beautifully restored Kaunas Castle. The Pazaislis monastery located near the hydroelectric dam is a stunning representation of the baroque-style of Northern Europe. The Museum of Devils pays tribute to Lithuania’s pagan history and is worth a visit. Another major highlight is the protective Russian fortress, batteries, forts, and barracks from the 19th century that surround the city; they are revered as the most well-preserved of their kind.
