Kaunas In Your Pocket

The Frank Sinatra of Eastern Europe, Kaunas is a household name that you know little about in reality. 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 morning. I`m a sailor from Poland. I have got a question: Is it a sluice in dam of Kaunas Sea? I would like to sail from Grodno to Kłajpeda this spring. Thank you for your answer. Best regards. Adam Molenda

    Good morning Adam,
    We know a lot of things but I must confess that we don't know if there's a sluice in the dam in the Kaunas Sea. There's a good list of water-related contacts in Kaunas on the city's tourist information website. Alternatively you could contact the TIC directly.
