Visiting Kaunas, Lithuania | Travel guide from a local

Hello everyone and welcome to Kaunas - the second largest city in Lithuania. I'm so exited to make this video because I grew up in Kaunas and want to show you all what the city has to offer.
Some of the famous places are: Kaunas gothic old town and centre, Pažaislis monastery and Kaunas reservoir with a yacht club, old city funiculars, numerous museums and galleries including museum of Lithuania's most famous painter and composer M. K. Čiurlionis, and a quirky Devil's museum. In Kaunas you can also learn a lot about soviet past from its unique shops and cafes still left in the centre, and 9 fort museum which is infamous for its role in the second world war.
There is so much more in Kaunas, see the video to find out!
---
I'm Justina and I'm travelling around all 60 municipalities of Lithuania, a small country in the north east of Europe.
Disclaimer: None of my videos are sponsored, I choose to visit each of places mentioned based on my own research of the region and my interest.

The icecube cold blue church illumination is what I want to see. The long rectilinear boulevard with these shady trees looks unique to me. I really hope to make it once to Kaunas from Nederland. I would probably stay 3 days or so ........😊

Anyway, I hope to be in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda and Saiuliai in mid-August. Thanks so much for your video, you've given me some great ideas for places to visit in Kaunas!

    It's not easy. If you have at least some kind of information about him that could help, churches might have some records. There also are a few websites like genmetrika.eu that has lots of records online, but the website is in Lithuanian and most old records are in Russian language. Another, epaveldas.lt also have record copies, I've found 2 churches in Kaunas in that time frame that have birth records: Kauno Šv. Kryžiaus (Karmelitų) Romos katalikų bažnyčia and Kauno Švč. Trejybės (Seminarijos) Romos katalikų bažnyčia. I wish you good luck finding your roots!
