100% YES! I have to admit that I was on the fence at first. I wasn’t sure if a day trip to Kaunas was worth it with my limited time in Lithuania. But, I’m SO happy I made the decision to go. The city was friendly, vibrant and just singular. Plus, there is loads of things to do in Kaunas too which is always a winner for me. So, if you are on the fen...
If you don’t have a car, there are some great and efficient public transport services that can get you around Lithuania. It’s a small country so many of the large cities and attractions are never more than a few hours travel away. Kaunas is Lithuania’s second-largest city and can be accessed in around 90 minutes if you’re travelling from Vilnius. M...
I loved the train service in Lithuania. The official railway booking site was in English, easy to use and I had my online tickets with a QR code in minutes. The conductor just scans it on his way through the carriage. Plus, the trains were really fancy. My train to Kaunas was a double-decker (we don’t have these in the UK so I was really excited) a...
I didn’t go by bus as this was going to take around 2 hours and I had limited time in the city. It was also double the price of a train ticket and cost around 9 Euros each way. This didn’t make a lot of sense when I could go quicker on first class on the train. The Vilnius central train and bus station are inches away from each other. So, if the tr...
Like I said, if you’re here on a day trip, you will truly be spoiled for choice. There are just SO many things to do in Kaunas, you may need more than one day to look around. But, I found I could see quite a lot with just one day if I left early enough from Vilnius and planned my time right. I also visited in winter with limited daylight, so if you...
As if by fate, I had planned my day trip to Kaunas on a Saturday. I was recommended to book a free walking tour of Kaunas with Vilnius by Locals that only happens there once a week! As I only had one day in the city, this was the perfect introduction and it didn’t disappoint. Despite it being one of the windiest and coldest days in winter, our guid...
Having been to Trakai Castle in Lithuania, I have to admit, Kaunas castle didn’t impress me as much as all that. But, it is still a beautiful building that you can visit in the Old Town. This medieval castle was built in the 14th century and is one of the first brick castles in Lithuania. It was unique in the way it had two defense walls to protect...
Although a little way out of the main city of Kaunas, The Ninth Fort is something I would encourage every tourist to visit. It tells a dark story, about the Russian Empire and Lithuanians being forced into hard labour camps. It’s also the location of the massacre of 50,000 Jewish nationals during World War II. The museum is split into two sections....
If you’re staying in Vilnius, you will have already experienced the fact that churches seem to be on every street corner. Although Kaunas doesn’t have as many churches, the ones they do have are incredible! If you’re starting your Old Town Kaunas journey, I would recommend visiting this gorgeous building at the top of Freedom Avenue. We started our...
I loved the Old Towns in Lithuania. They were colourful, quaint, have lots of character and Kaunas is no exception for that. The first thing you may notice about Kaunas Old Town is the way that most buildings are quite short. Well, the reason why is that there was a rule years ago that the town could not build more than two floors per building! The...
Kaunas is one of my favorite cities in Europe and I’m surprised it’s still not as popular among tourists as it should be. With so many things to do in Kaunas, everyone will find something interesting for himself, whether it’s history, culture, architecture or the culinary scene.
