The second-biggest city of Lithuania has plenty to offer as a city-break destination. The recently redeveloped Vienybės aikštė – Unity Square serves as a skate park for local skateboarders and families and is filled with lunch spots for the local students and workers. Marked by its extravagant architecture, it has been awarded a prestigious iF Design award. Lastly, the square is decorated with 40 fountains—a spectacle that the youngest country’s visitors particularly enjoy.
