#summertripevent #lithuania #lithuania #easterneurope Pilies g. 17, Kaunas, 44275 Kauno m. sav., Lithuania When I first arrived, my preconceptions were shattered, and the castle was prettier than I thought, and if the weather is good, it's a place where you can take pictures no matter where you go.

This was a picture I took on my flight back from Lithuania to England. Despite being a frequent flyer, every travel opportunity is a new to me.

There was an interesting art exibition in lobby of Victoria Hotel in Kaunas, Lithuania.

One of the stand out attractions of Kaunas is the city's castle, dating back to the medieval times. Only about one third of the castle remains to this day but it is worth seeing such an iconic relic of history. It has an illustrious history that dates back to the 14th century and was attacked and captured by the Teutonic order. Much of the castle was restored in 2010 and is now open to the public. In 2018, a 7 metre high bronze statue of a horseman was added to the grounds, portraying the "freedom warrior."

The Vytautas military museum has a great display of Lithuanian history over the past few centuries. It also features a small exhibition on the latest Russian occupation of Ukraine. The exhibitions are split over three floors and it even features a crypt in the basement. Visitors can see many of the weapons accumulated from medieval swords to modern era guns. Entry is five euros for adults though there are concessions for students.
