OH SHIT KAUNAS HAS A WAR MUSEUM AND A FUNICULAR RAILWAY.

I mean, I was thinking RIga but now Riga needs to offer me something to beat that.

Kaunas is nice, smaller feel than Vilnius. The castle stands on a confluence of two rivers, very atmospheric. Good craft beer!

Yes, Kaunas is very nice :-)

Funicular railway is a major trump card.

See, I nearly miss gems like this through muting selected irritating words. 😏

He's ruined everything

Aberystwyth lacks the war museum, but it's easier to get to.

There's the world's worst funicular in Ebbw Vale

cheeseford.bsky.social•24 days ago

That's basically a stairlift.

redwellyfeats.bsky.social•24 days ago

Out of order most of the time as well

cheeseford.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ebbw Vale was out of order when I was there earlier.

That KGB bunker in Kaunas looks pretty cool too. 🤔

I feel obliged to point out that there are funiculars in both Wiesbaden (a water-powered one) and Heidelberg near Frankfurt, if you want those.

But I don't think the Museum of Ancient Boats in Mainz will be reopened until later in the year

There is, however, the small Zeppelin Museum in Zeppelinheim https://www.zeppelin-museum-zeppelinheim.de/html/en_index.html
And another 30 something museums https://www.museumsufer.de/en/all-museums/

The centre of Riga has become very touristic. It was the biggest city in the Baltic countries but the population decreased and now I think Vilnius is a little bigger.

anitramwaju.malauren.be•24 days ago

The funicular was closed when I was there this summer…

garius.bsky.social•24 days ago

I mean, if i can't ride the funicular that's a significant negative.

anitramwaju.malauren.be•24 days ago

Opened only on week days.

Two funiculars, also a KGB Atomic Bunker and 'the longest bridge in the world'.
