Is KAUNAS Europe's Most UNDERRATED City ?! | Lithuania VLOG

Lithuanians know about Kaunas but for some reason not many tourists know where this amazing place is. It feels like underrated so I wanted to make a video to show Kaunas and Lithuania differently.

    Lithuania is so underrated. Beautiful country and people. What is really cool is Lithuanians have lived everywhere in the world so you get a lot of divercity, and alot of tradition. I think Lithuania has a great future ahead of it
