Kaunas Travel Forum

hello people of kaunas, i will be traveling to see your country with 7 friends of mine in early november. anyway, is there anything you would recomend for me to do in the daytime? im there from saturday morning untill tuesday night and like to see things during the day. i dont mind a trip to vilnius (how would i get here? bus, train or taxi?), seeing any sights that are in kaunas, maybe catching a football match, or any museum of the old soviet era, or any monuments you are proud of. any help would be nice and every suggestion will be noted.

at night i hope to visit some nice bars and clubs, but would imagine that sunday night may not be too busy. anyway, do you recommend any good bars and clubs that are visitor friendly? i dont mind mixing with locals anywhere and always will, but dont want to end up in the wrong club! any local food you recommend i try?

Hi,
the place worth seeing in Kaunas is of course The Old Town: the Town Hall Square, the Cathedral, the 15th century gothic style Vytautas church, Kaunas Castle - all at a two minute distance from each other. Take a walk along the pedestrian street (Laisves Alley) which is joined with the main street of the Old Town: you'll find lots of shops and restaurants along the way. I think you'll like The Devils'Museum (Putvinskio St. 64, not far from Laisves Alley)which has an original collection of about 3000 exhibits relating to the theme of devils. By the way, it's closed on Mondays.
As for night clubs, I'd recommend "City Metro" in Laisves Alley. As you see the city is quite compact:)
The quickest way to Vilnius is going by bus.
Good luck!

thanks for that interesting info. i will take up your advice.
