Why Kaunas Town Hall Square matters
The old town of Kaunas is built around a handsome square, with a tall white town hall that locals call the White Swan. Pastel houses and little cafés fill the sides, and the pedestrian streets lead out towards the river. It is a lovely place for a coffee and to feel the city's slower pace compared with Vilnius.
Talking points
- The town hall is nicknamed the White Swan.
- The old town sits near the confluence of the two largest rivers in Lithuania.
