Funiculars

The combination of its unusually steep hills and the ambitious growth of the city between the wars has provided Kaunas with two separate funicular railways.

Open 07:00 - 12:00, 13:00 - 16:00. Closed Sat, Sun.

Find the bottom station just two minutes from the centre between Putvinskio and Aušros, and the top station immediately south of the Christ's Resurrection Church.
