The underrated city with hardly any tourists just 64 miles from incredible capital

The second city is said to be highly underrated by travellers, who normally head for the capital. (Image: Getty) A small city is hailed by visitors for its natural beauty and stunning architecture. Yet, it remains deeply underrated among many holidaymakers.

The Lithuanian city of Kaunas is just 64 miles west of the capital Vilnius which has become a major travel hub, with nearly 1.2 million guests visitors last year, according to data collected by Go Vilnius . In comparison, the Kaunas City Tourist Information Centre reported just 18,752 visitors, including 1,781 foreigners in 2022.

But though this small city of less than 500,000 people is less travelled by, its architectural grandeur and rich artistic scene makes it a hidden gem for those seeking an unusual weekend away. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
