Sightseeing tour of Kaunas

The sightseeing tour of Kaunas is a perfect choice for our city’s guests. During the tour, we briefly discuss all periods of Kaunas history:

• A period when Kaunas was a medieval city of merchants and craftsmen. We walk around Old Town and recount the history of the development of the only Hanseatic city in Lithuania.
• A period when our city was part of the Russian Empire. The story is about the period between the 18th and 20th centuries when Kaunas was the centre of the Kovno Governorate and, since 1879, had become a fortress – a defense city. We can visit one of the nine forts built at that time if you wish.
• A period of the Temporary capital (1919-1939), when the city’s territory grew threefold, and 12 thousand buildings were built. Some of these buildings are inscribed on the UNESCO Heritage List. We walk around the New Town and/or Žaliakalnis.

The duration of this tour may vary from 3 to 5 hours, or it can take the whole day. We start next to the Kaunas Castle or at the point requested by the client – we can meet you at the hotel or conference centre. Together, we will visit Kaunas Old Town and New Town. We can take the Aleksotas funicular to the observation deck with a fantastic panoramic view. We could also see Christ’s Resurrection Church or, if you have your transport, we could visit the majestic Pažaislis Monastery. Everything can be arranged according to your wishes and capabilities. ♥

The tour is available in English and German.
