Lithuania's second city is sometimes overshadowed by the capital, but it shouldn't be, and package holidays to Kaunas are very worthwhile. It's a fascinating place, with both centuries of tradition and a forward-looking cultural life. It has some of the Baltic States' most impressive museums and galleries, yet it doesn't neglect the smaller things. There's an excellent cafe culture, and on holiday packages to Kaunas you can spend evenings visiting the fine theatres and concert halls that abound. It's always been an economic hub, so there's a buzz about the city, but it's lively rather than overwhelming. Our friendly service will help you make the most of your trip.
There's nothing to worry about when going to Lithuania, as there are no visa requirements for your holiday in Kaunas. All you need is a valid British passport. Before your flight to Kaunas, get a free European Health Insurance Card to cover emergencies. When booking flight and hotel deals to Kaunas, you'll still need the usual insurance for less urgent treatment.

Book with us and we'll make sure you know where to go.
The city is on roughly the same latitude as Newcastle, but its inland location gives cheap package holidays in Kaunas a slightly more continental feel. That means that when enjoying our holiday deals to Kaunas in midsummer, the days are typically a few degrees warmer. In winter, you can expect picturesque scenes and a dusting of snow. The city is sheltered by the Kazlu Ruda forest to the west, which means unpleasantly strong winds are uncommon. This is a very sunny place in summer, with June and July both offering over 250 hours of sunshine. The driest month is April, making spring also a good time to visit. In any season, we at eDreams will be delighted to hear from you!
