- Vienybė square, a newly refurbished public area in the heart of Kaunas invites anyone who wants to enjoy a few spare minutes outside or have a friendly chat.

- A bronze statue, the Man, (by sculptor P. Mazuras) with his arms stretched out attracts stares by many. The sculpture symbolizes the beauty of the man’s soul and body, and at the same, it welcomes all with his open arms (address: Nepriklausomybės a. 12).
- Yard gallery was created by an artist Vytenis Jakas more than a decade ago with a goal to bring its neighbors together. Now it grew to be the most colorful open-air gallery in Lithuania (address: E. Ožeškienės g. 21A).
