I took a taxi at 1am from the intercity bus station to the hotel and he drove off in a completely different direction to earn more money. Being my second visit in within 2 weeks I knew it was wrong and yelled out. He then brought me straight to the back door of the hotel (I didn't know the front was on a pedestrian street only). As I couldn't see the hotel and maybe he felt a bit bad he then carried my luggage into the reception and only left once I was sure I was in the right hotel. Leave a Comment

In every trip you should be careful about your belongings, so do so in Kaunas as well. Also if you come by car, don't leave it in the non-guarded (free of parking fee) parking lots or at least try to leave your car somewhere close to place where is more traffic, more people pass etc. It's a pity to admit that couple of my foreign friends while visiting Kaunas had problems with broken car windows and stolen stuff as well as stolen bags. Believe me, it is not the funniest way to spend your night explaining to Lithuanian police (which usually don't speak English) what happened! Leave a Comment

 Kaunas bus station by satara
Also don't walk there (and in other parts of Kaunas) alone in the night and of course don't make other people around you understand you are a tourist and have many good things like camera, mobile phone, laptop etc. Leave a Comment

 Snow on cycleway in
Kaunas, Lithuania by sigthor_egle
Guess, Kaunas municipality decided to follow "European standard" and make some cycleaway along the main street - Freedom Avenue (Laisves aleja).
One problem is that Lithuanians are so much not used to the cycling ethics that people walk on the cycleway and cyclers have to cycle in zigzags sometimes hitting people and even injuring them. Another problem is that cyclers themselves are not very careful drivers and often cycle precariously, especially teenagers. The third and the most ridiculous problem comes from the municipality - the public cleaning company just simply puts snow on the cycleway..

This is a city with a lot of poor people, and that is why there are much crime here.Dont go alone after dark and never go in dark alies! The best thing to do is to go in larger groups. They easily see that you are a tourist, and they know that you might have much money on you, So many many tourist get robbed here! It's not a nice excperience, so if you are careful you can avoid it.
Kaunas has the highest crimerate in Lithuania.So it's nothing to joke about.

Unfortunatelly here isn't very safe to walk in the late evening or in the night. Be always careful even in the busses where some thiefs 'works' in stealing your money from the bags. Leave a Comment

There are more attractions to visit in and around Kaunas. Take more time. Two days is a minimum for Kaunas, I think. But, if you don't want to run like a sheep and you want to visit more places than me, to meet people and enjoy more food and nightlife, 3-4 or even more days is my recommendation.
Anyway, if you have only one day, come back again to see more, Kaunas is worth of it :-). Leave a Comment
