Kaunas Airport (KUN) sits in Karmėlava, roughly 14 km northeast of the Old Town. It is a small, easy airport, and getting into the centre is straightforward. Here are the three options, with honest pros and cons.
| Option | Time to Old Town | Relative cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public bus | ~30–40 min | € (cheapest) | Budget, daytime arrivals |
| Taxi / Bolt | ~20–25 min | €€ | Luggage, speed, door-to-door |
| Private transfer | ~20 min | €€€ | Groups, very early or late flights |
Public bus — cheapest
Bus No. 29 runs from the airport terminal to the city centre and on to the Railway Station (Geležinkelio stotis); its timetable is matched to flight arrivals. A single ticket costs €0.70 in the Žiogas app or with an e-ticket card, or €1.50 from the driver (since 1 January 2026; cash or bank card), and includes one transfer within 30 minutes. The ride into the centre takes around 30–40 minutes. Check the current timetable on kvt.lt before you fly, especially for late arrivals.
Taxi or ride-hailing — fastest
A taxi or a ride-hailing app (Bolt is widely used in Lithuania) will get you door-to-door in about 20–25 minutes outside rush hour. It is the simplest option with luggage or after a long flight. Ordering through an app shows the price up front and avoids any confusion at the rank.
Pre-booked transfer — most relaxed
If you would rather have a driver waiting with your name on a sign, a pre-booked private transfer is worth the premium — particularly for groups or very early flights. Arrange it a day or two ahead.
Arriving at your stay
All of our stays offer self check-in, so a late or early arrival is never a problem — you will receive door instructions before you travel. Tell your driver you are heading to Kaunas Old Town (Senamiestis) and you will be a short walk from Town Hall Square.
