Kaunas Transportation

There are a couple of ways to get to Kaunas by means of inter city bus. Follow this link and click the buttons down to the left and you'll get to the bus companies' pages.
The bus station is located in the eastern part of the town, not far from the railway station which is ~400m southwards.

The railways are as good in Lithuania as in any country, I used it for my journey to Vilnius. Here is a link to the railway company.
The railway station is situated in the eastern part of town, about 400m south of the bus station.

It is easy to get to Kaunas by air, several air lines serve the city nowadays, low-cost carriers as well the expensive ones.
To get to/from the airport you can use the city bus 29, timetable here.

The local transport system consists of buses and trolleybuses. Tickets can be bought from the driver for 2 LTL, or from newsstands and Rkiosks for 1,80 LTL. As always, you have to validate the ticket as soon as you get on the vehicle.

We left Kaunas by bus to Nida on the Curonian Spit. The trip took about 4,5 hours and was 48 Litas (14,40 Euro; 2006).

The bus station (Autobusu Stotis) can be found at Vytauto gatve 24/26, which is located only 15 minutes on foot southeast of the city centre.

It is served by various bus companies from almost all bigger cities in Lithuania.
The two main bus companies are:

Eurolines: http://www.eurolines.lt/

Kautra Bus Lines: http://www.kautra.lt/

The distance to Kaunas from Vilnius airport is about 80 kms. As I know, there are trains and buses to Kaunas every hour. They are starting from the central train and bus stations, so one should catch one to get there from the airport.
Kaunas has a small airport, but there are not so many flights. Ryanair certainly have flights to kaunas.

The transportation is mostly similar like in Vilnius. Around Kaunas you can get with buses too. Ticket for one person will cost about 0,30 Euro.

I should mention, I didn't used any transportation in Kaunas center, because all the main must see activities are not so far from each other, as for me, it is better to go by foot in Kaunas.

PS: Monastery of Pazaislis is the farthest point to see, so definitely it will be need of transportation there and the best choise is bus.

Most travellers arriving at Kaunas airport will be tempted to take a taxi to town.
I was warned that this would cost in the region of 50-60 Litas. (£12-15 UK) for about a 12 km journey. When on holiday I expect to be taken for a ride a little, but this seemed like robbery.
Just outside the airport terminal to the left of the doorway is the stop for the Number 29 bus.
It will take you to the Kaunas bus station for the sum of 1 Litas or £0.25 UK.
The ride is comfortable and quick - maybe 45 minutes.
The only problem is that you need to know where to get off. The bus does not end its route at the bus station. Stops are indicated on an illuminated display, just memorise yours and be ready to move.
Schedules can be found online. I did it with no knowledge of Lithuanian and no help.
So anybody can :-)
