Rivalries can often form between two major cities in one country. Doing some quick research, here are some city-pairs that seem to have a strong sense of rivalry: Madrid - Barcelona, Tokyo - Osaka, Rome - Milan, and Sydney - Melbourne.
And, so, in Lithuania, the best-known city rivalry is between Kaunas and Vilnius.

The average Kaunas vs Vilnius debate always ends with Kaunas being called a gas station on the way to Klaipėda. 😅 But, as a resident of BESTonia, all of Lithuania and Latvia are just places you have to drive through to get to Eestimaa ❤ Hahaha kidding, Lithiania is epic. (Latvia is ok)

What I really like about Vilnius as a Kaunas resident is its old town architecture. The most annoying thing is russian language on the streets and other public areas. I hate hearing russian more than Lithuanian whenever I visit Vilnius. The basketball case, teams are not even comparable. Žalgiris is a Europe scale brand while Rytas is just a journeyman of lower tier European leagues.

Rytas is a Historic European team who was the 1st team to win 2 Eurocups and the first team in Europe to win 5 titles in 1 season only in the recent decade Rytas has fallen and Rytas by far has the best fanbase in Lithuania.

That's true. Most larger settlements in Lithuania were exclusively polonophone as it was the official language for many years. In fact, many Lithuanians actually spoke Polish for centuries. And only in the early 1900s, there was a paradigm shift which led to readoption of Lithuanian language among inteligentsia, officials and other parts of upper strata. Even today, neighbourhoods like Slabada, Vilijampolė, Freda sound very Polish.

It wasn't simply that the city was "Polish speaking". Antanas Smetona was a speaker of Polish, in itself it meant nothing. It's an irony of history but Vilnius and region became a center of Polishness and Polish patriotism more than Krakow, let alone Poznan or other historic Polish lands. The Polish national ethos was created in historic Lithuania by polonised Ruthenian and Lithuanian lords. Unlike Kaunas, not only the city itself, but the surrounding area was slavicised by the time nationalism really took off. So even the peasants who lived there acquired a strong Polish national identity. It is naive to think the people there, who were a majority and (in the city itself) a highly creative element would have rejected that Polish identity their ancestors created for something created by people from elsewhere based on a language they did not know and which was also very polonophobic. It was something foreign to them. It was clear long before Zeligowski's action that the Lithuanian national movement had no takers in Vilnius and region. Polish ethnonationalists were elected in Duma elections, barely any contributions to Ausra came from there, none of the signatories of Lithuanian declaration of independence, even the 2(?) Polish native speakers didn't come from there either. The area was thoroughly polonised and it didn't happen in the 19 years of Polish rule.

Such places as Lapės were called Lopie by the locals, who believed it be "purely Polish". The region was called "Lauda" by the local Polonophone people.

@@arturass3896 Lauda had a high proportion of petty nobles, a patriotic element, leftover from the Republic of Two Nations. However even there the peasant majority spoke Lithuanian and overall Poles in Lithuania were a "manageable" minority. Especially that much of the Polish speaking intelligentsia moved or were expelled to Poland. Originally the Lithuanian nationalist leaders wanted borders which would extend far beyond the areas where the Lithuanian language was spoken, by both the rural and the city population. It's pure fantasy to think that all those people living there whose Polish identity was strong would just lithuanise without a whimper. What would actually have happened is that you would have a civil war.

As a person from Kaunas, if you're just an average Lithuanian, Kaunas could be better than Vilnius (?). But in terms of tourism, I feel like Vilnius is much better. It has some high-rise buildings in Šnipiškės (which I find very fascinating because we have none here, really, lol), a very big old town, and the new town can be interesting as well. And of course, there are many, many things to do in these places. Meanwhile, in Kaunas, I'd say the Old Town is the only interesting part. Also, in terms of apartment renovations, both are at a similar percentage renovated. I think Kaunas could do a lot better since it is more than two times smaller than Vilnius. I'm not saying Vilnius is good at that, but because of its size, I guess we can forgive it. Honestly, in that aspect, if we are talking about the biggest cities, Klaipėda is probably the best at it. But overall, Kaunas got boring for me since I grew up here and have lived here my entire life, so Vilnius has a different vibe and feels more interesting since I can explore more there. So that's my opinion.

Having been to Lithuania twice (October 2023 & July 2022) and being a huge fan of Lithuanian basketball; and having over 70 Lithuanian basketball players as friends…..on my first trip I stayed longer in Vilnius, then on my second trip, I stayed longer in Kaunas….for me, Vilnius is my favorite city. I love the Cathedral Square area, love the old town, love the multiple shopping centers. In Kaunas, I stayed a lot in hotels right on the pedestrian street, which is lovely but after staying 9 nights in Kaunas this past October….I practically saw just about everything there is to see & do in Kaunas. I went to a Euroleague game, the arena was sold out, it was loud and fun but the atmosphere in Vilnius at the Rytas vs Liekabelis game was way better. The Jeep arena is way smaller but the atmosphere was just better (I did see a Wolves game at the bigger Avia Solutions Center as well). Of course, traffic can be heavy and bad in Vilnius but so is at that big roundabout in Kaunas. I love Lithuania, love cepelinai & kibinais, love Klaipeda, Siauliai and other towns but Vilnius is my favorite city. I love walking on Gediminas Street, love watching people play basketball at the white bridge park, in front of the CUP. I can’t wait to be back.

As someone who lives in the province, I dislike both. Too big, takes hours to get anywhere and will charge you an arm and leg for basic lunch. Even though Kaunas is somewhat smaller than Vilnius, it doesn't really help when all the roads don't go straight and have to go around rivers and hills, navigating it is a nightmare. Out of all major cities only Klaipėda is easy to get around, but only somewhat - though not that big and mostly flat, it is quite long across the coast, and when rush hour traffic comes and it's 3 main streets get clogged - you will be stuck for a while. I don't have much experience with Šiauliai, but in general there's not much reason to visit northern Lithuania, so I never do

as someone from Klaipeda, I find it funny when people from Kaunas think they are better than everyone else aswell. people from Vilnius can feel a bit snobbish, but people from Kaunas can have this abrasive and rude manner of speaking, and this aura that they think they are superior. While someone from Vilnius might flaunt their wealth to show you that they are better, a person from Kaunas will beat you up to show you that they are better than you. I find Kaunas to be a hotbed for nationalism and rightwing'ism and as someone who doesn't care for basketball the constant yapping about basketball you get from people that are from Kaunas becomes very annoying. Obviously the cities are diverse and the type of behavious I described is the minority, but the "vibes" I get is that that is the biggest minority. I'd choose Vilnius anytime because I genuinely feel people are more eccepting and kind there, but that won't stop me from calling them p*les everytime.

I think further integration into it would make the lives better for lithuanians. And if Lithuanians really love being Lithuanians they will preserve the language and culture, just like there are still catholics even tho the pope doesnt control all of central Italy anymore. Tho I do think what scares nationalists is that many people don't care about being one ethnicity or another and just want to care for themselves and their own life, so you need a reservation where the government ensures lithuanian culture is dominant and nothing else.

As a vilnietis, I used to romantize Kaunas, since I only used to pass it with a bus going from relatives in Žemaitija back home to Vilnius, wich occured only once-twice a year. Kaunas had the "vibe" for me, at least trough the window of a bus. But as I grew up, more and more negative things came trough the glass of a monitor about Kaunas. Slave-like soviet "tetos", who adore thug mayor and think that rulership is a thing - they think if not Crabiyoshaitis, then Kaunas would have stayed the same, like in a time capsule. The evil scientist Vaitkus, who runs for president, also is from Kaunas. F**in Orlauskas is from Kaunas. A lot of redpillers come from Kaunas surprisingly. Oh and when it comes to basketball, kauniečiai turn from Jekyll to Hyde, the arrogance towards other basketball clubs is astonishing and the excuses after losses against other teams are already a folklore.

@@ZhylvisLT there always come more good people than bad, doesn't matter from where. The thing is, Kaunas used to be represented as THE lithuanian city, a source of patriotism, but nowadays it behaves more anti-lithuanian than any other place on our lands. Oh and Antanas Kandrotas - Celofanas is also from Kaunas... What an unfortunate coincidence, kaunieti.

@@ZhylvisLT but Vilnius never was "the heart of Lithuania", was it? It was never called a patriot city? In fact, kauniečiai always called Vilnius anything but Lithuania: Portugal, Poland, Belarus, Russia... And after all of it, you're the ones today, who actually SMIRDI.
