~~Some tips updated, others under construction ~~

Kaunas - the second biggest town in Lithuania and one of three cities having an old town. Originally settled in XIV century as a medieval city. You can still see some remains from those times - one tower of the "castle" is left and a part of the wall, that was surrounding the city then. Located in a kiss of two longest rivers. How come? Come and see it! :)
