Bookmark & shareBig Baltic city with bohemian arts scene.
Lithuania's second largest city is a cultural and industrial centre with an interesting Old Town, an endless central pedestrian street, a wide range of museums and a red-hot basketball team, Žalgiris. It has a sizable student population, some fine architecture and, unfortunately, terrible food.
