Kaunas In Your Pocket

The Frank Sinatra of Eastern Europe, Kaunas is a household name that you know little about in reality. Charismatic with shady undertones, Lithuania’s second city has had a long and illustrious career of ups and downs, enjoying numerous and often controversial flirtations over the centuries with a hefty roll call of colourful characters from both home and abroad.

    Good morning. I`m a sailor from Poland. I have got a question: Is it a sluice in dam of Kaunas Sea? I would like to sail from Grodno to Kłajpeda this spring. Thank you for your answer. Best regards. Adam Molenda

    Good morning Adam,
    We know a lot of things but I must confess that we don't know if there's a sluice in the dam in the Kaunas Sea. There's a good list of water-related contacts in Kaunas on the city's tourist information website. Alternatively you could contact the TIC directly.

  • Pizza Hut
    Per isegines buvome uzeja papietauti Kauno Akropolyje i PIZZA HUT ,taciau likome labai nusivyle,aptarnavimu ir maistu.Teko dauk kartu lankytis PIZZA HUT amerikoje cia lietuvoje toli grazu nuo relybes visai nepanasu.BBQ vistienos sparneliai paprasti visai neastrus patiekemi su paprastu keciupu o ne su BBQ padazu jau nekalbu, kur is tikruju turetu buti su Blue chese padazu kaip amerikoje ar kitu saliu PIZZA HUT> Aptarnavimas pasibaisetinas sedi su keliu menesiu kudikiu mato ,kad vaikas neramus verkia mazai turim laiko,dasikviesti neymanoma nors stovi ir kikena visa kruva jaunu padaveju prie baro.Vienu zodziu kiek suprantame vadovybe turetu pasiziureti,kaip tokios istaigos veikia europoje,arba uz atlanto .Ir bent jau negadintu PIZZA HUT vardo ir patiekalu.

    Editor's note:
    Here's a quick translation of the key points:
    1 - Disappointing and not at all like Pizza Hut in other countries. 
    2 - BBQ chicken wings are not spicy at all and come with plain old ketchup. 
    3 - The service was terrible.
    4 - They are ruining the Pizza Hut name.[...]
