Kaunas: plan your visit

Kaunas has an urban setting around Nemunas / Neris. Explore the riverside as a daytime outing, then check the actual address of any place you intend to visit. The directory offers different kinds of stops, including Godo / Baking Mad Hidden Lab. Read the place type and visitor notes to choose what fits your visit, and check its individual access conditions.

Transport & before you visit

Use the full street address to compare the outward and return journeys. Check the local operator’s route planner for your date, including the last service; proximity on a city map does not guarantee a convenient late-night connection.

Before visiting, use the place’s official notice for your date to confirm opening or programme times, admission rules and any booking or membership requirement. For an event, check the year and exact venue; an old poster does not confirm a current edition.
