Railway Bridge, Kaunas
The Railway Bridge is a structural landmark spanning the Nemunas River, completed in 1862. Often referred to as the "Green Bridge" due to its paint, it serves as a key part of the city's rail infrastructure alongside the Kaunas railway station and the nearby railway tunnel. Travelers visit this site to observe the industrial architecture and the river views.
Getting There
The bridge is located a short distance from the city center. It can be reached via a 15 to 20 minute walk or a brief taxi ride from the central pedestrian areas, depending on your starting point.
