Hidden Gems of Kaunas

Kaunas offers a collection of unconventional sites beyond its main streets. The Ninth Fort stands as a haunting WWII stronghold and memorial, while the Museum of Devils showcases thousands of sculptures collected by artist Antanas Žmuidzinavičius. In the Old Town, a 16th-century building houses the Museum of History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy, featuring authentic apothecary exhibits. Visitors can also explore the Gothic-Renaissance architecture of Raudondvaris Castle or visit the Kaunas Museum for the Blind, the first sensory-focused museum in the Baltic States.
