Kalėdos Kaune 2025

As the loveliest holiday of the year draws nigh, Kaunas steps back in time – to the interwar years, when elegance was an art and festivity a fashion. The city dresses up in its finest Art Deco attire, and addresses you in the dialect of the day. All of Kaunas shall shimmer and sparkle under the spell of Art Deco Christmas – how, you ask? Charmingly, handsomely, and with utmost sophistication! Awaiting the season’s festivities – and the moments of the lighting of the tree! READ MORE

By Decree! The most delightful and original
holiday moments in Kaunas – for children and
grown-ups alike – are offered at Santa’s Residence. Do not miss your chance to meet him!
