 | Kaunas Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 9 of 9 |  |
Kaunas has many hotels and the price is almost similar like in other European capitals, so quite expensive. There's a lack of low-budget hotels, like youth hostel (which was opened only this year!). So please be careful when you read on the map "student hostel" which are regular Kaunas university students dorms and not the youth hostels for tourist. You won't get a bed there.
I live in one of such student hostels and one late night coming home I met that Polish guy who was biking across Lithuania and tried to get a room in my hostel. I don't know what happened to him afterwards because when I tried to explain him about some pricey hotels in downtown his eyes became wider and wider... Leave a Comment

One Belgian international exchange student I was tutoring bought 50 time units card and left to the shopkeeper 50 litas!!! That means he overpaid about 5 times more. I think he just didn't wait for the change, but he thought Lithuanians are big cheaters! So to avoid such misunderstandings read the price first or ask the shopkeeper. Leave a Comment

In case you won't notice it while walking around Kaunas, you'll find it at Laisves avenue 36.
Another one is called "Musu Odiseja" and you'll find it at M.K. Ciurlionio street 15. Leave a Comment

 PICTURE OF DEVIL TAKEN AT
WRONG ANGLE by matcrazy1
My common mistakes and solutions:
1. with camera flash put in front and exactly or almost perpendicularly to a windowpane of a glass case I received... look at my picture. The solution: put your flash at an angle to a windowpane or use additional flash with light reflected.
2. with camera put too close to an object (a devil) I received over-exposed, white pictures. Solution: better take a picture from a distance and eventually zoom in (hmm... longer exposure needed = a tripod maybe necessary).
3. with a camera put too distant I received dark pictures. Solution: use additional, better flash (hmm... they often cost a fortune) or put your camera closer to an object or use a tripod and longer exposure.
Do not take any pictures there... Leave a Comment

 NO DIRECTION SIGNS AT TOWN
HALL SQUARE by matcrazy1
Stop and buy a map. They were available in petrol stations, bookstores and kiosks. Buy at least a leaflet Kaunas/Klaipeda from series In your pocket for 8.00 Lt which contained maps of Kaunas. Check your itinerary.
Have a helpful passanger in a car like I had :-).
Buy GPS receiver and map of Lithuania with GPS. Learn how to use it (easy!)
Keep smiling and do NOT skip Kaunas :-).There were many other beautiful and not the most thoughtfully signposted cities in many countries I visited and... I would never skip them. Leave a Comment

Do not look at it.
Close your eyes or... buy the house and reconstruct it. Leave a Comment

Near Kaunas you can find a park, called 'Rumsiskes'. It national park, where you can find old houses and buidings of differents parts from Lithuania. This park is in open air, and it will take about 2 hours to walk there. Leave a Comment

Westerners often do get charged more for certain items. If you know a Lithuanian, get him/her to buy it for you, especially if there is bargaining involved. Leave a Comment
