Lithuania's second-largest city at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers — the country's capital during the interwar period (1919-1939) when Vilnius was occupied by Poland. The Old Town (the medieval core around the Cathedral) and Naujamiestis (the interwar Modernist district under UNESCO consideration) are the walkable cores. Lithuania's residence permit for self-employed is the long-stay route; no formal DNV. Schengen. Roughly 25-30% cheaper than Vilnius on rent with the country's deepest interwar architectural density and Lithuania's major university anchor (Vytautas Magnus University).
