Laisvės alėja
A tree-lined pedestrian boulevard of about 1.7 km, linking New Town shops, cafés and interwar modernist buildings.
The main axis of Kaunas’s New Town. It runs west from Vilniaus Street in the Old Town, and at its eastern end it faces the blue-domed Church of St. Michael the Archangel. At roughly 1.7 km long, it is one of the longer pedestrian streets in Europe. Linden trees line both sides, and along the street are modernist buildings from the interwar “Temporary Capital” period, as well as cafés, restaurants and shops. A musical fountain and the Statue of Liberty stand in the middle section. It is ideal for an evening stroll, and you can easily detour to the Central Post Office or the many museums nearby.
