When wandering around Kaunas you will discover quite a few statues.
After Lithuania's independence in 1990 all communist related statues have been moved to Grutas Park which is a sort of sculpture park for tourists.
Information about the Monument to Vytautas the Great and the Monument to Steponas Darius and Stasys Girenas can be found in seperate tips.
Other important statues include the following ones:
The naked figure of A Man is the work of sculptor Petras Mazuras and has been erected in 1991. It can be found outside the Mykolas Zilinskas Art Museum.
The Monument to Antanas Smetona was installed in 1996 and is located near Vilniaus gatve 33. He was the first President of Lithuania (1919-1920).
The Monument to Motiejus Valancius can be found near the Church of the Holy Trinity. He was a well known bishop and died in 1875 in Kaunas. Leave a Comment

Kaunas is situated at the confluence of Lithuania's two longest rivers: the Nemunas and the Neris.
Both rivers arise in Belarus and in Kaunas the Neris becomes a tributary of the Nemunas river. The Nemunas flows into the Curonian lagoon and then into the Baltic Sea.
The region where the two rivers meet is said to be the point where Kaunas originated in the 14th century. Leave a Comment

Some buildings and bridges are beautifully illuminated at night.
I especially liked the blue and red illumination of the Aleksoto bridge (Aleksoto tiltas) which spans the river Nemunas just south of Kaunas' city centre.
Other buildings well worth a visit at night are the Church of St. Gertrude and the red brick Vytautas Church Leave a Comment
