Kauno Požemiai Underground Tunnels

Beneath the cobblestoned streets of Kaunas Old Town lies a hidden network of tunnels and cellars dating from the 15th to 19th centuries. These underground passages were originally built as storage cellars for merchants, connected over time into a labyrinth that served various purposes — from trade storage to wartime shelters. Guided tours lead visitors through the accessible sections of this underground world, revealing vaulted brick chambers, connecting passages, and stories of the people who used them over the centuries. The atmosphere is genuinely eerie — low ceilings, damp walls, and dim lighting create an unforgettable subterranean experience.
