What are the must-see attractions for a 2 days stay in Kaunas?

For a short stay, you'll want to see Kaunas Castle, the historic Old Town, and the Ninth Fort. These are all within walking distance of each other, so you can easily explore them in a day. For your second day, I'd recommend visiting the Kaunas ZOO, which is one of the oldest zoos in Europe, or the Museum of the Occupation and Freedom Fights, which tells the story of Lithuania's struggle for independence.

Which neighborhoods in Kaunas are best for renting an apartment?

The Old Town is a great choice for a vibrant, central location, but it can be more expensive. For a more affordable option, look at the Žaliakalnis neighbourhood, which is known for its beautiful parks and green spaces. If you're looking for a quieter area with more space, try the Aleksotas neighbourhood, which is situated on the other side of the Nemunas River.

What are the top cultural and historical sites in Kaunas?

The Old Town is full of beautiful architecture, including the Town Hall, the Church of St. George, and the Kaunas Synagogue. You should definitely visit the Vytautas Magnus University, which is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Lithuania. The Kaunas War Museum is also a must-see, as it tells the story of Lithuania's involvement in World War II.

What makes Kaunas unique or famous?

Kaunas is known for its rich history and culture, having been the temporary capital of Lithuania in the 20th century. It's also known for its modern architecture, with many buildings designed in the modernist and functionalist styles. The city has a vibrant arts scene, with many galleries, museums, and theatres. It's also a great place to try traditional Lithuanian food, such as cepelinai (potato dumplings) and kugelis (potato casserole).

Where can you find the best local markets and street food in Kaunas?

The best local market is the Kaunas Central Market, which is a great place to find fresh produce, meat, cheese, and other local products. For street food, you can find plenty of options in the Old Town, especially around Laisvės Alėja, the main pedestrian street. Try the traditional Lithuanian sausages, called 'dešrainiai', or the 'kibinų' pastries, which are filled with meat or cheese.

How is the public transportation system in Kaunas?

Kaunas has a good public transportation system, with buses, trams, and trolleybuses. It's easy to get around the city using the public transport system. Tickets can be purchased from kiosks, newsagents or directly from the driver. You can also purchase a Kaunas Card, which gives you unlimited travel on public transport and discounts at various attractions.
