Panevėžys

Panevėžys

Panevėžys is located in northern Lithuania on the Nevėžis River, a tributary of the Neman River, and serves as an important link between other central Lithuanian cities and the Russian city of Kaliningrad.

Panevėžys is a well-known tourist city in Lithuania and is renowned for its clean and comfortable environment. Although the city does not boast a particularly ancient history like many other European cities, its mysterious and charming side still captivates visitors. The massive granite Alexander Monument and the statue of the Grand Duke of Lithuania stand firmly on the old riverbed, overlooking the panoramic view of Panevėžys. The statue’s palm gently cradles the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, which is the sanctuary of the city’s oldest Christian descendants. The ancient and historic old riverbed is a popular spot for leisure and festivals, becoming one of the city's iconic landmarks.

Worthy of visiting are the ethnographic museum housing numerous historical and cultural relics, the Baroque-style Church of Saints Peter and Paul built in 1785, the classical Church of the Holy Trinity, various unique theaters, and art galleries that feature precious ceramic works by renowned artists from around the world.
