9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes. As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum €8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations. Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English. You can walk around the outside area for free. 100% recommended this for a visit 2-3 hrs would do it justice to see Everything!

If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s. If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.

One of the most unique, special and educational experiences ever. Definitely consider visiting if you ever visit Lithuania, especially if you like history and new adventures!

Definitely worth a visit. Monemument and information regarding mass killings is sobering but presented respectfully. Information inside the exhibit is thorough and well worth while spending the time to read. Available in both Lithuanian and English.

Beautiful place marked by history. The fort has a very interesting museum and the exterior, including the monument, is a sacred place. I recommend going in the spring season to see all the vegetation in bloom, seemingly in contrast with the history written here.

This is a fascinating and haunting place. Its history is so deep and complex. Everyone should visit and understand the difficult time in Lithuania’s history.

Interesting history but very morbid and really hits home the true costs of war. Beautiful country ❤️

The museum is renovated and filled with original and preserved items. We took the two hour guided tour with Olga, it was absolutely worth it.. she was knowledgeable, engaging, and told the story of the in interesting way. You will have access to the inside of the fortress with a guid only. Highly recommended.
