Travel to Kaunas

The history of Lithuania has been dominated by the two large cities, Vilnius and Kaunas, which, despite of the short distance between them, sometimes have been on opposite sides of a country border. In the 20th century, Kaunas has mostly been in Lithuanian hands, and between World War I and II, it was the capital of the country. Because of this, many consider Kaunas the most Lithuanian of the two cities.
