Kaunas, Lithuania
Kaunas is the second largest city of Lithuania and a former capital (pop. 400,000). During my visit in May 2008, Kaunas was celebrating its 600th anniversary—in 1408, it was granted Magdeburg Rights by Vytautas the Great. People put on their best medieval costumes, sang in choirs, and celebrated with food, drink, music, and dance. [—Namit Arora]
