Rumoured to be the world’s largest brick church, St. Mary’s can hold up to 25,000 people. For a breathtaking view of the city, climb the 405 steps to the top of the 78-metre tower. Inside the church, you’ll find a 14-metre astronomical clock. Pop by at noon to see Adam and Eve tolling a bell atop the clock.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum dives into the history and ongoing work of humanitarian aid around the world. Through interactive exhibits, personal stories, and multimedia installations, it explores issues like conflict, disaster response, and human rights. There’s a permanent exhibition, plus rotating temporary ones. Its focus is to promote understanding of the history, current affairs, and challenges of humanitarian actions worldwide.

This ensemble is regarded as the most beautiful Baroque-style landmark in the Baltic states, nestled in foresty Kaunas Reservoir. The church and abbey were built for Camaldolese monks in the 17th century, under the supervision of Italian masters from Florence. Its on-site museum offers educational classes and a small cinema. The monastery is home to about 140 frescoes of varying sizes, including the famous painting of the Mother of Fair Love, which was presented to Kristupas Zigmantas Pacas, founder of the Pažaislis Church, by Pope Alexander VII in 1661.
