Back in the day it was a booming merchant town, remnants of which can be seen in unique city architecture, as well as a strategic defense location, witnessed by remaining forts and the city caste. Adding to it’s beauty is the modern architecture, which began to form in the days when Kaunas was a temporary capital of Lithuania.

For easier guidance we have called this section of tours Western Lithuania, although Lithuanians group the western side of Lithuania into three regions: Samogitia, The Seaside, and the Lithuania Minor. Ethnographically speaking, these regions not only differ in spoken dialect, history, but also in character and peoples temper. The tours in this region primarily focus on nature and culinary traditions. Although those who prefer town and city exploration, we are offering to visit the port city of Klaipeda, samogitian capital Telsiai or the ‘sun city’ – Siauliai.
