  • 5/5 Nojus Ūselis (. 1 year ago on Google • 89 reviews
    This is an interesting place with cool history behind it. This place was an old president resting place. It shows past president, their history, old paintings and things from the age the presidents were living, and much more. There was a fun way to remember Lithuanian anthem: there was small wooden things you have to put in the right places to solve the anthem riddle. There also was cool games to play about past Lithuanian presidents. I liked this museum.

    One of the most gorgeous buildings in Kaunas, surrounded by a cosy chestnuts garden with monuments for all three interwar presidents of Lithuania. Visitors can visit a museum inside of the building. Really worth to see.

    (Translated by Google) One of the places to visit during your stay in Kaunas. Walking down the main street we will definitely pass by the Presidential Palace. The building is not very impressive, but it's worth visiting for a moment. Symbol of short being the capital through the city of Kaunas. (Original) Jedno z miejsc do zwiedzenia podczas pobytu w Kownie. Idąc główną ulicą na pewno przejdziemy obok Pałacu Prezydenckiego. Budynek nie jest zbyt okazały, ale warto wpaść na chwilę. Symbol krótkiego bycia stolicą przez miasto Kowno.

    A calling card of Kaunas) This museum may seem to be dull but it is quite good for visual learners. There are many exhibition stands with textual information and photographs. You can find some interesting facts or see unique everyday items owned by politicians and other famous Lithuanians. I definitely recommend to visit Presidential Palace if you're fond of Lithuania's history.

  • 2/5 Michał M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) And this is the Presidential Palace - a man discovers, walking along the promenade to the castle. Such with monuments to presidents in the garden. They should go inside only possessed by nationalists' primitivism in order to be outraged by its foreign version. (Original) A, to ten Pałac Prezydencki- odkrywa człowiek, idąc deptakiem pod zamek. Taki sobie z pomnikami prezydentów w ogródku. Do środka powinni wchodzić tylko opętani prymitywizmem narodowców żeby oburzać się jego zagraniczną wersją.

  • 4/5 Danielius B. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place in the center of Kaunas. Interior might be a little bit more authentic. Exabition is great, interactive and customized for children. Strangely it goes from the end to the begining. Be sure to start in the last room and go straight to the staircase.

  • 5/5 Paulius B. 6 years ago on Google
    Interesting place for a short visit. The courtyard is good for a walk with statues of the first presidents of Lithuania. Inside exhibitions are hit and miss. But, overall, worth stopping at if you are visiting Kaunas.

    (Translated by Google) Malý parčík u prezidentského paláce, který slouží jako připomínka doby minulé. Bývají tam venkovní výstavy, skvělé místo k chvilkovému posezení a rozjímání, v centru města vedle pěší zóny. Dozajista je zajímavá i vnitřní část paláce a tam jsme se ještě nedostali, takže dozajista při další návštěvě Kaunasu zajdeme. Small square near the presidential palace, which with various interesting exhibitions reminds of the past. In the city center next to the pedestrian street. You can sit quietly and enjoy the beauty around. Probably the inner part is also very interesting, but did not get there and so it remains for the next trips to Kaunas.

Маленкий сквер у президентского дворца, который разными интересными выставками напоминает прошлое. В центре города рядом с пешеходной улицей. Можно спокойно посидеть и понаслаждаться красотой вокруг. Наверно и внутреняя часть очень интересна, но туда не добрались и так остается на следующие поездки в Каунас.
