Panevėžys is located in the northern part of Lithuania, on the banks of the Nevezis River, a tributary of the Neman River. It serves as an important link connecting other cities in central Lithuania with the Russian city of Kaliningrad.

Known as a popular tourist city in Lithuania, Panevėžys is famous for its clean and comfortable environment. Despite not having a long history like many other European cities, its mysterious and charming atmosphere continues to captivate 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, with the statue’s hand gently holding up the oldest Christian site in the city – the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The ancient and historic old riverbed has become a famous leisure and festival venue, shining as one of the city’s star attractions.

The city boasts a variety of historical and cultural treasures, including the Museum of Anthropology showcasing a wealth of artifacts, the Baroque-style Church of Saints Peter and Paul established in 1785, the classical Trinity Church, unique theaters of all sizes, and an art gallery showcasing precious ceramic works from famous artists around the world.
