By plane

The small and modern airport at Karmėlava is about 12km north of Kaunas. Once the formalities are out the way, find several information kiosks, a café, an R Kiosk selling snacks and soft drinks, a bank, ATM, toilets and car rental outlets.

Getting to town Taxis can be found parked outside the arrivals hall. Try to negotiate a fare before setting off, and expect to pay around 30Lt for a trip to the city centre. Local minibus N°120 runs regularly to Old Town for a mere 2Lt. Pay the driver when you get in and let him know where you want to stop. You can also get city bus N°29 from the bus stop at the front of the airport, which passes through the centre as well as going to the bus and train stations. Buy a ticket from the driver for 2Lt. Express shuttle buses also provide a service to any given hotel in the city for 13Lt. The same company operates good value, fast and comfortable minibus services to Vilnius, Klaipėda and Riga.
