Foreign Affairs in Interwar Kaunas

What to expect during this tour?

Diplomacy in Kaunas is the central theme of this tour. It tells the story of foreign envoys who lived in Lithuania’s interwar capital. Amusing, serious, curious, and eyebrow-raising oddities reveal not only Lithuania’s relationships with foreign partners but also the rapid development of the First Republic of Lithuania.
Why did a U.S. diplomat live in Kaunas but travel to Berlin for dental treatment?
Why did a Belgian-run company pay Kaunas a debt of 154,000 litas (local currency)?
Why was the Metropolis Hotel nationalized and placed under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Many unusual questions arise — and all the answers await on the “Foreign Affairs in Interwar Kaunas” tour.
During the interwar period, Kaunas hosted as many as 22 foreign diplomatic missions.
The city even had a habit more typical of warmer climates — around 3 p.m., daily life paused as locals went home for an afternoon nap.
