Lithuania's second city of inter-war modernism
Kaunas is Lithuania's second city, famous for its inter-war modernism architecture—a building boom in the 1920s-30s created a cohesive modernist townscape found few places elsewhere. The city sits where two rivers meet, offering waterfront attraction. The Ninth Fort documents WWII horror with unflinching clarity. Kaunas feels less touristy than Vilnius while maintaining cultural vibrancy and architectural significance.
