Craft beer connoisseurs will love exploring Kaunas' many bars and breweries, where great local beers await in unique, understated settings.

The Pazaislis Monastery is also an award-winning film location - recently appearing in the TV series Catherine The Great, starring Helen Mirren.

As the 2016 UNESCO City of Design, Kaunas has a host of art and design experiences to enjoy, from interwar modernist architecture to contemporary street art.

Kaunas' Old Town features cafes, castles and the Cathedral-Basilica, an architectural jewel not to be missed. Its construction is a prime example of Eclecticism, with its Gothic design taking on elements of Renaissance, Baroque and Neogothic styles over the years.

The most central city in Lithuania, Kaunas has remained something of a hidden gem when it comes to weekend city breaks.
