Discover Kaunas
Kaunas lies where the Nemunas meets the Neris in central Lithuania. The confluence provides a clear structure for the historic city. Its importance extends beyond the riverbanks through a substantial regional urban role.

Two rivers around the older core
The meeting of waterways helps explain both settlement and connections. Kaunas has a different geographical position from southeastern Vilnius, even though the cities share national historical relationships.
The interwar capital
Kaunas served as Lithuania's capital between the world wars while Vilnius lay outside the state. That period shaped modern development. It belongs alongside, rather than replacing, the city's own river history and continuing identity as a major Lithuanian centre.
