Elegant marble-accented Pearl suite in Kaunas Old Town

The best place to stay for an event at Žalgiris Arena or the Darius and Girėnas Stadium is Kaunas Old Town. The Arena is a short walk across the river; the Stadium a quick ride. Best of all, you skip the post-event taxi surge and traffic — you simply walk home. MyKaunas has three stays here from €46 per night, booked direct.

Why book in the Old Town for a concert or game

After a BC Žalgiris basketball game or a big arena concert, thousands of people leave at once — taxi prices surge and the roads clog. From the Old Town you just walk back, your bed minutes away. Before and after the event you have the Old Town's bars, cellar pubs and restaurants right on your doorstep.

Autumn–winter 2026 at Žalgiris Arena

The 2026–27 season is in full swing: BC Žalgiris plays EuroLeague home games almost every week from October — Anadolu Efes on 16 October, ASVEL on 23 October and Partizan on 30 October — alongside Lithuanian league games, exhibitions and stand-up shows. See the full programme at zalgirioarena.lt and book your stay early for big-game weekends.

Which stay for your group

Coming with friends for a game? Underground Kingdom Boutique sleeps up to 8 in private cellar rooms — perfect for a group. A couple or small family for a concert weekend? Picturesque Old Town Apartment with Charming Balcony or the luxury Old Town Pearl Suite (parking 60 m away, handy on event days). See our full comparison in the guide below.
