Kaunas is also the cultural and educational center of Lithuania, with renowned institutions such as Vytautas Magnus University.

As the European Capital of Culture 2015, Kaunas' vibrant art scene is reflected in its many museums, galleries and street art. Visitors can feel the pulse of the city by strolling down Freedom Avenue (Laisvės alėja) or climb up to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ for a panoramic view. Local specialties such as "šaltibarščiai" (cold beet soup) and "cepelinai" (potato dumplings) showcase traditional Lithuanian flavors.

Conveniently located with an international airport and a well-developed rail network, Kaunas is an ideal starting point for exploring central Lithuania. The city offers visitors a unique cultural experience with a clever blend of medieval charm and modern creativity.

Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
