The old town is a bus ride away from the station or bus station and consists of a few small streets with shops restaurants and churches. The square includes a large church converted into a museum and tourist information office. The partially renovated castle is beyond the square. Walking back from the old town you come to the modern town with a long pedestrian street. It took over an hour by train from Vilnius and was not worth the trip.
It felt safe at all times, a gorgeous range of bars and restaurants which were far more contemporary than where I live in the UK. A great place for students, couples and even families because it felt safe at all times, even at midnight. I wouldn't have a problem going on my own as a single woman next time either. The houses and cobbled streets are lovely to photograph. It snowed while we were there so it topped our break off!
walk down the old town is very nice where you can visit many places..Museums, cafes, restaurants, churchesand etc..It depends on your needs and interests Perfect place for photo-shooting day or night it's amazing!
This is a lovely area to wonder around day or night. Nice places to see like the Cathedral and castle and a vast array of coffee shop, bars and restaurants
Kaunas' old town is situated at the confluence of Lithuania's two largest rivers, the Neris and Nemunas, at the western end of the centre of the city. Approaching it down the city's main street, the pedestrianised Laisves avenue, you come to a tightly knit medieval street layout, full of distinctive buildings. There are a number of historic churches, restored in recent years, as well as the Old Town Hall with its distinctive white facade and tower, dating back to 1780. There are numerous interesting shops, cafes and restaurants.
could be more reconstructed, streets in Kaunas terrific condition, restaurants are just fine to eat, sad that around Kaunas airport no hotels, it is really far to reach city, taxi drivers aren't very honest, but in general who really wants to see Kaunas I believe will accept any difficulties.
Small cosy old town, Vilnius street with loads of caffes to have a dinner or grab some beer. cheerfull people. Loved the winter themeand street performers. Sure to visit :)
You're hungry? There is a range of cafes: Chinese, Italian, local and other sorts of food. You wanna go clubbing at night? You can choose among quite a few beloved places that are open until as early (or late?) as 6-7 a.m. Silence seeker? There are gorgeous churches around the Old Town. Fancy meeting someone? That's one of the most popular places for rendezvous, all year round.
I live near Kaunas, so for me this place is usual. Laisves av., Vilnius street and town hall square must be visited if you want to say that were in Kaunas. You can just walk (no cars allowed), relax in cafeteria or restourants. Unfortunatelly, most small shops was "eaten" by nearby shop-mall "Akropolis".
Probably the best plate to be at late midsummer evenings! Right before sunset... The small restaurants serve really good food, and the people are really nice!
