\nThe iconic selfie will receive many Likes and\u00a0Shares, and\u00a0we know the best places to snap an amazing Instagram pic:\"\"<\/a>
\n1. Inscription\u00a0\u017dALGIRIS\u00a0placed next to\u00a0\u017dalgiris\u00a0arena not only looks stunning during the sunset but also reminds the taste of\u00a0excitement\u00a0experienced during\u00a0Euroleague\u00a0basketball games (address:\u00a0Karaliaus\u00a0Mindaugo\u00a0pr.50).
\n2. The birth of the Pink elephant graffiti was inspired by the writing on the wall\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Deima\u00a0+\u00a0Arunas. Love conquers all\u00a0\u2014\u00a0even\u00a0scepticism\u00a0towards graffiti\u00a0\u2014\u00a0isn\u2018t it right? (address: E.\u00a0O\u017eie\u0161kien\u0117s\u00a0g. 18A).
\n3. Vienyb\u0117\u00a0square, 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.
\n4. Aleksotas\u00a0observation point is one of the best places to fall in love with the panoramic views of Kaunas.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0convenient to reach it by the funicular, the vintage and very trendy means of transportation in Kaunas (address: V.\u00a0\u010cepinskio\u00a0g.).
\n5. A bronze statue, the Man, (by sculptor P.\u00a0Mazuras) with his arms stretched out attracts stares by many. The sculpture\u00a0symbolizes\u00a0the beauty of the man’s soul and body, and at the same it welcomes all with his open arms (address:\u00a0Nepriklausomyb\u0117s\u00a0a. 12).
\n6. Yard gallery was created by an artist\u00a0Vytenis\u00a0Jakas\u00a0more than a decade ago with a goal to bring its\u00a0neighbors\u00a0together. Now it grew to be the most\u00a0colourful\u00a0open-air gallery in Lithuania (address: E.\u00a0O\u017ee\u0161kien\u0117s\u00a0g. 21A).
\n7. A special atmosphere filled with jazz,\u00a0coziness\u00a0and\u00a0colourful\u00a0retro interior awaits you in\u00a0Chaika\u00a0caffee\u00a0(address: M.\u00a0Dauk\u0161os\u00a0g. 27).
\n8. Modern yet experiential design of the hotel\u00a0Moxy\u00a0encourages everyone to nap a pic in its bar-lounge (address:\u00a0Maironio\u00a0g. 19).
\n9. The list would not be complete without the iconic and legendary Kaunas castle! Built in the 14th century for\u00a0defense\u00a0against the crusaders it is one of the oldest stone castles in Lithuania. A settlement grew into the current Kaunas city we all know today (address:\u00a0Pilies\u00a0g. 17).<\/p>\n
