Things to do Explore Kaunas: The Temporary Capital of Lithuania
This tour will introduce the city of Kaunas during its "golden age", the interwar period. A time when a small provincial town became the temporary capital of Lithuania, and the city we see today emerged.
During your time in Kaunas, you will learn about its social and cultural life, discover why it was nicknamed "Little Paris," and explore and climb one of the hidden staircases of Kaunas' hills. We will touch upon darker historical moments of the city.
We will start our tour at Vytautas the Great Monument and finish at St. Michael the Archangel's Church, both located on Freedom Avenue. Let's embark on a journey together and discover the city as it was 100 years ago!

“Golden Age of Kaunas”
Very interesting tour of the new town area in the vicinity of Freedom Avenue, which also included the Green Hill neighbourhood with its architectural gems and a descent of the Kaunas Steps.
On the back of yesterday’s experience, I decided to do a day trip by train to Vilnius today and join another Free Tour of that city.

“A 6pm eye-opener!”
I cannot rate Daina highly enough! A friendly, amusing, engaging young woman with perfect delivery, offering just the right amount of detail, insight and entertainment. My daughters and I had a great couple of hours, venturing into areas of Kaunas that we would otherwise have missed and learnt so much about your beautiful city. Thank you, Daina!
