Kaunas Aerial Lift Over Nemunas

Kaunas has long discussed plans for a dramatic cable car or aerial lift spanning the wide Nemunas valley, connecting the city center with the Aleksotas hillside observation point. While various proposals have been debated over the years, the concept represents an exciting potential future viewpoint for Lithuania's second city. In the meantime, the Aleksotas viewpoint — accessible by the historic funicular railway — already provides one of the finest urban panoramas in Lithuania. The view over the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers, the Old Town's spires, and the modernist New Town creates a sweeping cityscape. Whether by funicular, foot path, or future cable car, the Aleksotas heights remain Kaunas's premier viewpoint.
