Kaunas Hotels

All this, extraordinarily, in spite of a grim past. Consider that since the late 14^th century, Kaunas has been decimated by the Teutonic Knights, pre-Imperial Russia, Sweden, the Black Death, Grand Army of Napoleon Bonaparte, Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Yet today, in defiance of history, Kaunas is a formidable symbol of Baltic clout and one of the most virile urban dynamos to come out of the former republics of the Soviet Union. Landmarks, museums and monuments abound in Kaunas, from the dramatic Vytautas the Great War Museum to the somber Kaunas Choral Synagogue. Kaunas Castle is the face of the city and other points of interest like St. Michael the Archangel's Church, Nemunas Island Park and superb Funicular Railways deserve a go. Kaunas has a major arts, culture and festival scene as well, most evident in the supreme city symphony orchestra and International Modern Dance Festival.
