Charismatic with shady undertones, Lithuania’s second city has had a long and illustrious career of ups and downs, enjoying numerous and often controversial flirtations over the centuries with a hefty roll call of colourful characters from both home and abroad.

Good to find out at least what companies go to Riga from Kaunas[...]
Oh God, poor Lithuanians!! No surprise that Lithuanians are getting bigger by each year. Soon they will have the same obesity problems as back in the US.[...]
It's a bit of a chore to get to the 9th Fort, but definitely worth going there for the sobering history lesson. The museum exhibit is interesting enough, but a tour through the prison itself is a slap in the face. Some benches right near to the ki[...]
The small theater playing Ciurlionis' music was a great way to end a visit to the museum. I sat there for a few minutes, lulled by the joyous, peaceful music, when someone in some back room began to beat a metal file cabinet to death with a sledgeh[...]
I first visited here in 1995, and re-visited in 2008, and it didn't look like the museum had changed much, but a devil museum is probably unique throughout the museum world, and the collection is quite vast. Definitely a must see in Kaunas, and it'[...]
Go in and take a look around. It doesn't cost much, and while the museum is small, they've tried as best they can. Occasionally some academic sort will enter or exit the museum, and if he/she finds out that you're an English speaker, they'll be ha[...]

I visited the Ninth Fort a few years ago. There was a lady in the museum at the bottom of the hill that reminded me of a stereotypical officious Soviet Russian out that one read about during the cold war. The legacy of the USSR lives on in these r[...]
I would say it's my favorite restaurant in Kaunas :)[...]
Great place to browse around and look for deals. Ideal for shopoholics.[...]
I remember my first visit to Zalias Raitas in October 1999. It was cold and rainy that night. The place had a nice fire going and the atmosphere was outstanding. I've been back several times. It's a gem. The food is okay too.[...]
I've been to Miesto Sodas on Laives Aleja probably 50 times between 1999 and 2005. It was one of my favorite places for lunch in Kaunas. Reasonably priced good food and drinks, a pleasant atmosphere, with fairly good service.[...]
He may have happened to look that way, but he was a devil as well.[...]
