The best family-friendly hikes and walks around the Nemunas

Another highlight is the Kaunas Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. It is the largest building in the Old Town and has been the basilica of the Cardinal of Lithuania since 1921. The church was built in the Gothic architectural style and features a Baroque high altar depicting the crucifixion scene of Jesus. Worth seeing is the sacristy with its cross vault or the 17th-century Neo-Gothic wood-carved chapel.

Kaunas has a beautiful old town. In the evenings, you can relax in one of the many bars.

The castle was originally built in 1367.

Memorial to the two friends Mahatma Gandhi and Hermann Kallenbach, who comes from Rusnė.

Not Henry Wilson but Jonas Vileišis (January 3, 1872 – June 1, 1942) who was a Lithuanian politician. From September 30, 1921 until July 2, 1931, he served as mayor of Kaunas, the temporary capital of Lithuania. Under his direction Kaunas grew rapidly and became a truly modern city. A water and wastewater system, costing over 15 million Lithuanian litas, was put in place; the city expanded from 18 square km to 40; more than 2,500 buildings were built, including three modern bridges over the Neris and Nemunas rivers. All the city streets were paved, horse-drawn transportation was replaced with modern bus lines, new suburbs were planned and built, and new parks and squares were established. The foundations for a social security system were laid, three new schools were built, and new public libraries, including the Vincas Kudirka library, were established. He maintained many contacts in other European cities and as a result Kaunas was an active participant in European urban life.

St. Michael the Archangel's Church or the Garrison Church is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania, closing the perspective of the Laisvės alėja, the main pedestrian street. It was built between 1891 and 1895 when Kaunas was part of the Russian Empire, in Neo-Byzantine style largely for the use of the Russian Orthodox garrison of Kaunas Fortress. The construction of "military" or "garrison" Orthodox churches by the Russian government in former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth lands had started after the suppression of the November Uprising of 1830-31, and peaked during the reign of emperor Alexander III of Russia. Initially the site of this church had been intended to be used for a Catholic church, but these plans had been abandoned after the Uprising. The church was designed as an Orthodox cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in 1890 by K. H. Lymarenko; it was authorized for construction on November 10 that year.

Perfect rest spot as there is a toilet close by and also a little shop plus a restaurant about 80m away.
