Have you ever pet a tiger?! Have you ever been “bitten” by a tiger?! Visit this zoo - now you will dare to tell you have experienced it all!!!!
Highly recommended!
A great cillectiin of rare animals!
Tony D — Google review
Some cages were empty, seemed too small or looked like they had way too many animals. But other than that, lots of tigers, lions and birds. Most were sleeping, but could still see lots of creatures. Can also pet, play with, or feed baby tigers near the entrance for an additional fee.
Really interesting experience. Lot of Tigers, Lions and Peacocks. You can buy some bread at the gate to feed some animals. And by extra fee it was possible to play 3 month old Tiger pups. Place looks tired or out dated but most of animals are closer than in other zoo parks. Funny feeling was to see how Tiger plays and eats the dinner.
The worst zoo I have ever visited in my life… It’s totally wrong to see wild animals in such a conditions.
Cages for animals are quite small ,dirty, disgusting and animals seems depressed…
It’s not zoo, but jail and you shouldn’t bring your kids here.
P.S. If you are here just for pictures even those won’t be beautiful as the zoo is disgusting.
This is not a zoo - it's some medieval menagerie. Keeping animals in such conditions is unethical and simply cruel. Breeding them - even more. Just don't go there.
An interesting experience. It would be good to build more spacious enclosures for the animals. There were an incredible amount of tigers, it was a bit surprising. There were also many other felines.The cages felt a little wobbly. In some places panthers were walking in a cage directly above us. Safety was a bit of a concern, especially with small children, because it would be possible for a small child to put his hand in the cage. The tiger cubs were incredibly cute. This is really not small, even though the name suggests so.
Everything looks like in other cements. If you read them then you are prepared. Cash only, don't use wc.
Loved baby tigers & lions. For additional 15 eur you can pet them for 10 min.
Absolutely depressing place. The living conditions of the animals were terrible. I have never seen zoo animals run to a human that i saw on this zoo. The animals were completely stressed and hungry. Im also in tears right now when i think about these poor animals.
Look at these camels in the picture. Their humps were completely emty and they were so thin. Thats not ok.

A magnificent and unique church. Both the exterior and the interior are full of wonderful details that please the traveler's eye. The bridge to the manor park is a particularly wonderful addition. It can be seen that the church is loved by the city community. Inside, it is decorated with handmade folk art (see photos). I recommend it.

Beautiful grounds, set in serene parkland, it was lovely to sit in the sun and watch the relaxing fountain and the beautiful flowers. The inside of the building was beautiful. It was nice to get a look around but the artwork really wasn't anything great. Overall experience of the setting is the main draw. We had a picnic and enjoyed watching the guests and wedding couple arrive for their wedding reception which was being held there.

Great park and flower arrangements around the museum. The history of the place and buildings in the park suggest that the owner most likely was smart, educated and interesting person. The whole town is well renovated with great church to visit or new areas well incorporated to support life in the town without destroying the interesting parts from relatively recent history.
Beautiful building, lots of history. Fantastic hosts. Will be back!
One of the most beautiful manors in Lithuania. Inside you can find out about the former owners of this manor Oginskis. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful park. The place is steeped in history.
Very impressive rebuilt Palace with some amazing artwork ,archeology and sculptures.
Well worth a visit.
Oginsky manor/ Plunge dvaras with the art museum located inside, big beautiful park surrounding it
This is actually located in the Oginskiai place which is a beautiful manor tirned into art musuem. The location os very nice and the parj is huge with another buildings belonging to the estate. Worth seeing, definitely.

Cold War Museum

Wow one of the best and most iterating experiences we’ve had. A unique look at a soviet missile silo. You can explore throughout the structure including into the silos - it’s an underground labyrinth! Test every door as they mostly open and lead to other parts with more information. The English translation also makes it quite entertaining! Loads of parking and large cycle groups. Maybe find the online history as some of the displays and information is a bit lacking and could have improved clarity.

Felt like I stepped into a chilling chapter of history at a former Soviet Union nuclear missile site in Lithuania. Hidden deep in the forest, this once top-secret base housed missiles aimed at the West during the Cold War. Walking past the massive steel doors, fortified bunkers, and the eerie launch silos felt like stepping into a spy novel - except it was all real. It was a unique way to experience the tension, secrecy, and high stakes of the Cold War, standing right where world-changing decisions could have been made. An unforgettable blend of history, engineering, and the quiet reminder of how close humanity once came to the brink.
What an amazing place. Just fascinating.
We had an audio guide which gave great explanations of the main points of interest.
This is a subject we are really interested in so we spent around 3.5 hours in the museum. There is a huge amount of information to take in, if you are interested.
Just being in the facility is incredible when you think of all the tensions and decisions that were taken during those years.
The film at the end and the "red button" is very powerful.
From a practical perspective if this a subject that interests you then leave plenty of time for your visit and ensure you wear warm clothes, it is freezing down there even with 21 degrees outside!
An amazing place, highly recommended.
Hidden deep in the forests of the Žemaitija National Park lies a former Soviet underground nuclear missile base. The base was built in 1960 in the utmost secrecy and for a long time four R-12 Dvina nuclear missiles (NATO name: SS-4 Sandal) were stationed there. With a range of 3,000 km, almost any target in the whole of Europe could be destroyed from here. Only once, during the Prague Spring of 1968, was the missile base on high alert, with the domes open and at most waiting for a launch order. In 1978, the (already outdated) base was discovered by the American secret service and soon every missile and soldier had disappeared from the Žemaitija forests. Today it houses the Cold War Museum, a fascinating and educational museum whose most impressive feature are the 30-meter deep missile silos. Highly recommended!
Truly impressive and thought-provoking. These are the very locations that once instilled fear in the West during the Cold War — hidden deep in the forests, armed with nuclear-capable rocket silos pointed toward Europe. Walking freely through these underground chambers and control rooms is surreal. Hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was part of a global standoff.
Impressive museum where you learn from the past that helps to explain our present geopolitical issues. The children liked it and the site is giving you an amazing grasp of the cold war. The use of the audioguide is highly recommended.
Very unique and peculiar museum, there are free tours for visitors. However, if you want to learn more, I'd suggest just going by yourself and reading the information at the museum at your own pace.
Very cool to see the missile silos and underground base.
Information is also in English but the quality of the translation isn’t great and it left me with many questions. Also the route through the ten chambers is confusing despite instructions to “follow the white line”. Better take a picture of the layout when you begin .

Relatively large cathedral located on a tiny hill in downtown Telšiai.
Also notable are the historical panels emboldened on the Great Wall forming the church’s perimeter, they tell a history of the town and the country.
Small, but also large cathedral. Small of the area, but large because of two floors. Built in 1796. Main church of Samogitia bishopric
Wonderful church!

Panemunės pilis, a 17th-century castle located beside the Neman river, boasts a small art museum and is surrounded by a park with ponds. Constructed from red brick covered in stucco by a Dutch architect in the early 1600s, its two-tower design makes it an impressive sight among the surrounding greenery and lakes. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views from the tower during summer months, as well as regular markets on-site.
The castle is definitely worth a visit - it is nicely restored, has a very interesting exposition and overall it is situated in great location. You can visit with kids.

Very nice place, outside of castle oa perfect for picnik on the grass. Inside there is some kind of restaurant. Visit and enjoy
We enjoyed the walk around the castle , which was not opened the day we visited . A very fine location for a castle
Amazing place and very beautiful castle. Museum worth visiting and to climb to the tower.
Nice and quite area to have coffee and walk around small man-made lakes around castle. There is a museum inside the castle and there was an art exhibition when we visited.

Not really a “castle”, but rather a brick manor with a tower. You can climb to the top of the tower for view of the river. Overall nothing unique about this place
Lovely castle with a fantastic tower you can climb for stunning views.
Good size car park.
Cafe is disappointing - plan by bringing something with you, there’s nothing else close.
It’s a functioning secondary school.
Lovely grounds and landscapes.
Very good exterior with very sad interior.
Basically, the tower is the only thing worth visiting inside - very good view.
The rest of the castle is a bit disappointing. You can see the traces of a former "soviet" school.
Since the price is dirt cheap, go for the view, skip the museum part.
Hopefully they will renovate the place inside.
If you are after the castle Interior, go to the Panemune Castle - only 10km away, way more interesting.
One of the only places that was open on a Monday and a great stop to break up the journey from the coast back to the capital. Great views from the top and cheap to get in. They could have made more of the history of the building (and perhaps explained some of the scary dolls). The café however did not look particularly appealing.
Nice castle with great views from its tower.
Castle with several things to see both around the castle and the park adjacent and also inside.
Outside, you have the park as mentioned that is kept in very good condition.
Inside you have the main attraction with the tower and also some smaller exhibitions. The cost for entry is 1,5€ regular and 1€ discounted, that is very fair for what you get to experience.
And you get great views from up top of the tower.
A thing to note though is that if you're afraid of heights then the stairs leading up the tower might be a bit hard for you. Since the stairs are not exactly the safest and are quite narrow, especially if people are going up and down at the same time.
Free parking is available right outside the castle, but you might need to park a bit questionable if there are many cars.
Good place for a long walk and relax, there's little coffee shop ann souvenir shop.
Outside is castle nothing special. Red brick building. Inside is some exhibitions and main attraction is tower. From tower is beautiful view around area. Big river Nemunas is very close.

The Juškos Museum of Ethnic Culture is a hidden gem in Vilkija, Lithuania, offering a beautiful glimpse into the country’s rich traditions and heritage. During my Lithuanian language and culture course, I had the chance to visit this enchanting place, and it left a lasting impression.
Nestled in a picturesque setting, the museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the work of Antanas and Jonas Juška, who collected Lithuanian folk songs, customs, and dialects. Walking through the exhibits, I felt connected to Lithuania’s soulful history and vibrant culture. The authentic ambiance of the museum, combined with the warm hospitality of the guides, made the experience truly special.
It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in Lithuanian traditions, and it’s a place where the past comes alive, reminding us of the beauty of preserving cultural heritage. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the heart of Lithuania, this museum is the perfect place to start.

The 9th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress, originally built by the Russian Tsar in the 1800s, has a haunting history as a Nazi execution site during World War II. It now stands as a museum and memorial to the 50,000 Lithuanians and Jews who lost their lives there. The massive monument erected on the site serves as a solemn reminder of this tragic past.
Definitely worth a visit.
Monemument and information regarding mass killings is sobering but presented respectfully. Information inside the exhibit is thorough and well worth while spending the time to read. Available in both Lithuanian and English.

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes.
As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum
€8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations.
Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English.
You can walk around the outside area for free.
100% recommended this for a visit 2-3 hrs would do it justice to see Everything!
Beautiful place marked by history. The fort has a very interesting museum and the exterior, including the monument, is a sacred place.
I recommend going in the spring season to see all the vegetation in bloom, seemingly in contrast with the history written here.
If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s.
If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.
Beautiful place with a sad history. Good for a visit if you love history and its a nice walk. There is stuff in England for does who dont speak lithuanian. Staff a very friendly and helpful. Would visit again.
This is a fascinating and haunting place. Its history is so deep and complex. Everyone should visit and understand the difficult time in Lithuania’s history.
One of the most unique, special and educational experiences ever. Definitely consider visiting if you ever visit Lithuania, especially if you like history and new adventures!
Interesting history but very morbid and really hits home the true costs of war. Beautiful country ❤️

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Kaunas Castle is a medieval fortress that offers art and historical exhibitions, cultural events, and guided tours. The castle hosts outdoor exhibitions of various works by international artists and showcases photography galleries. Visitors can also take walking city tours to explore the center and Old Town of Kaunas, including historical and architectural monuments like St. George's Church, the Theological seminary courtyard, Town Hall Square, baroque churches, and more.
It’s worthy to see this castle - after all, it is a symbol of the city! Inside there is a museum - price is low (for student 2€), but exhibits are not interesting. There is a view of the city from there - the free one is better, but remember that in Kaunas you can find better places for this, for example the Alexota funicular.

Kaunas Castle is a wonderful place for a walk. In the evening it’s beautifully lit, which makes the atmosphere really charming. The whole area felt very safe, and I also noticed there are surveillance cameras nearby, which adds to the feeling of security. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kaunas!
A historic castle very nicely preserved, clean and surrounded by green areas and walking trails around it. Minutes away from the old town of Kaunas. Worth visiting!
Kaunas Castle is a beautiful and historic spot right in the heart of the city. The red-brick fortress looks amazing, and the museum inside gives a nice glimpse into Kaunas’ past. The area around it is great for a walk, with lovely river views and a calm atmosphere. Staff are friendly, and there are often cool events or festivals happening nearby. Definitely worth a visit!
A very nice castle, but quite small once you get inside and with status you need to be careful as they are quite steep and you will need to wait for people or to go upstairs or downstairs as you can do both at the same time as it’s quite narrow. Worth a visit tho. The prices for tickets is ok too £4 for adult, but for students, kids, retired and disabled people gets it’s cheaper or does not pay at all which is nice.
Nice little exposition,well restored old castle,loved the dungeon prison part,great view from top level of the tower.Small but interesting museum,stairs at the tower are steep and narrow but there is another wider exilt on level two.Would recommend to spend couple hours exploring castle and surrounding old wall grounds.
Nice park to walk around. You can walk up to have a view. Castle itself has few remains, so not that much to visit. Has a museum indoor in the tower (paid entrance)
Nice castle immersed in a well tended park. We were there on Monday hence the castle was closed therefore we could only admire the outside of it

Cosy bakery-cafe in the Kedainiai old town. Meringue cake was really good. Coffee regular.
Martin — Google review
Ok place, different local cakes available. Espresso was very weak, weaker than normal coffee elsewhere. The atmosphere was quite nice, pop music from 80s was maybe too loud for the background. Seller-girl struggled with English. If you need quick bait, it will do. Prices were affordable.
Very cosy home made bakery. Their fruit smoothies are extremely tasty.
Lovely pastry and good coffee. What else to wish for.
Nice coffee and delicious bakery😋🌟
Nice place at a very good location, always fresh, good for a quick desert with coffee.
Nice little local bakery for savoury and sweet pastry
Loved it. The savory pastries were great, especially Brazilian cheese bread balls and cheese sticks. Had a nice quick lunch and came back twice the same day. Fruit smoothies were also good. Service was pleasant and we felt like the staff walked that extra mile. Thank you!
Fabulous place, superb bakery (sweet and salty), friendly staff, interior bit outdated though authentic, go and visit!

City Hall
Neighborhoods
Kaunas Town Hall, a stately 16th-century building located in the heart of the old town, is currently undergoing renovation. Despite this, visitors can still enjoy exploring the historic center and its landmarks. The surrounding area offers attractions such as Confluence Park (Santakos parkas), Kaunas Castle, and various museums. The charming cobbled streets are lined with cafes, restaurants, and bars to discover. The old town also features small local museums and churches to explore.
Very interesting museum, including whole history of Kaunas, from middle ages, through Communism to twenty first century. Highly recommended for all tourists visiting Kaunas :3

Kaunas Town Hall is a must-visit if you’re exploring Lithuania’s second-largest city! Known as the “White Swan” for its elegant architecture, this historic building sits in the heart of Kaunas Old Town. It has served many purposes over the centuries—city hall, prison, and even a wedding venue! Today, it houses the Kaunas City Museum, where you can learn about the city’s rich history. Take a stroll around the charming square, grab a coffee at a nearby café, and soak in the atmosphere of this beautiful and lively spot!
Close on Monday and overseeing a torn-up square (large renovation works ongoing August 2025). Not worth the effort
Most visited places in Kaunas , old town bars , cafes and restaurants, you can also find here museums art shops and other interesting sites
The Kaunas Town Hall is a beautiful and impressive building – a real highlight in the heart of the Old Town. The architecture is elegant, and the surrounding square is full of charm and history. It’s a great spot for photos and a nice place to sit and take in the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, during our visit, the building was under renovation, so we couldn’t fully enjoy or explore it. It’s understandable that maintenance is necessary, but it was a bit disappointing not to see it in its full glory.
Still, it’s a lovely landmark and definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Kaunas – hopefully next time without scaffolding!
10 euros, theres an app and i just cant make it work, not a whole lot, you can climb up the tower and take picture through windows ... Ac was nice.
I love Lithuania and Kaunas!
I didn't visit the museum, but the town hall itself is a very beautiful building. The centerpiece of Kaunas Old Town

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, also known as the Kaunas Cathedral, is a centuries-old Gothic structure located in the old town of Kaunas. Its lavishly appointed interior features gold leaf details and houses an icon from the 17th century that is believed to have performed miracles. The exterior, entirely made of red brick, showcases a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles.
Absolutely gorgeous old baroque church. Definitely worth seeing!

What a wonderful mass the coir was outstanding the preaching was next level. I enjoyed the mass during my weekend trip to Lithuania. If I have to say about the architecture it was so perfectly carved and well maintained. Sunday morning mass the church was almost all mix of young and elderly what a great community. There were sovereign gifts too.
Kaunas Cathedral is a stunning mix of Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance styles, making it one of Lithuania’s most impressive churches. It’s perfect for a peaceful visit—just be mindful of church services. The main altar and side chapels are beautiful, and it’s worth exploring the nearby Old Town afterward. Remember to dress modestly, and photography might be restricted. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and take your time soaking in the history!
Beautiful church, the sculptures are very impressive, the entrance is free, totally recommend it! The cathedral basilica of St. Peter n St. Paul left me which open mouth..
The few times I visited Kaunas I always made sure to see it. It's one of the most beautiful cathedral I saw in my life! The colors and atmosphere are so nice inside and we can really feel peaceful once inside
This church has retained its solemn Gothic appearance from the outside. Decorative elements from later periods are quite well integrated inside. The paintings were painted by the Italian Andriolli. He came to the city with Napoleon's army. It seems like a love story and he stayed in Kaunas. I'm not sure if all the pictures are his. You can check it yourself. And during services, listen to the powerful organ.
Very beautiful church that doesn’t ask for any payment to enter. We happily donated 2euros. Please don’t light candles on the seats. The old staff has hard time removing hardened candle :(
We are blessed to be able to attend the Sunday mass in the cathedral. It is a beautiful church with so much history in it. Admiring the paintings of the blessed Mother of God, St. Joseph with child Jesus and other saints for Catholics like my husband and I was a privileged.

Devils' Museum
Mentioned on
Museum
Specialty Museums
The Devils' Museum, also known as Zmuidzinavicius Museum, is a unique and offbeat attraction in Kaunas, Lithuania. It houses a remarkable collection of over 3,000 devil sculptures and carvings from various parts of the world. The museum was initially started by artist Antanas Zmuidzinavicius and has since grown to become a memorial museum dedicated to showcasing these intriguing artworks.
Interesting and fascinating museum, but it's not for everyone. You can rush through it within half an hour, if you just watch the displayed scultures. However, if you take your time to read every tale and interesting detail that are written there you can learn a lot, and I hardly recommend to do it
Tamás M — Google review
If you're into folklore, this is a wonderful place. Lithuanian devils are more like trolls or goblins than the typical judeo-Christian enemy. There's so much fun in here, with lots of stories and historical context provided. You'll learn about witches and cows and blacksmiths too.
A visit to Kaunas isn't complete without an hour spent at the Velnio Muziejus 😈. As the only museum of its kind globally, its very existence speaks to its authenticity and unique cultural significance.
The collection, which began with Lithuanian artist Antanas Žmuidzinavičius and has grown to over 3,000 pieces through international donations, is truly global. On its three floors, you'll see how different cultures interpret the devil—from mischievous Lithuanian folk carvings to intricate masks and sculptures from countries like India, Mexico, and Japan. This diversity provides a fascinating, multifaceted look at the mythological creature worldwide.
Beyond the static exhibits, the museum incorporates unique art expositions, featuring both contemporary fine and applied arts. These often include creative video shows and modern interpretations that bring a fresh, artistic perspective to the ancient themes. The museum is small enough that you can easily navigate the entire collection in an hour or so, making it a perfect, wonderfully bizarre, and insightful stop if you're in the area. It’s a great piece of Lithuanian eccentricity!
Great place to see. The devil's museum depicts a lot of Lithuanian follow about devils and depicts the life of Antanas Zmuidzinavicius. His garden and there bottom floor had private collection at pieces. It would be nice if the type would tell you too go from the second floor devils to the third floor devils, then to the second floor apartment. Another great addition would be that the listening app would have different playback speeds.
Really interesting one. If you have extra time it’s worth to see. There’s nothing much traditional or historical in that exhibition. However if you have time and got bored in Kaunas :) you can spend your time here.
An excellent museum, really unusual. The exhibits were well laid out and each exhibition case was well documented in Lithuanian and English Some great information and interesting mythology from around the world.
Took us a couple of hours to see everything but we do read every word!
Would recommend a visit.
Note: We read a review that said start from the top floor and work down. iMHO - disregard this and work your way up!!
Good value for money, nice staff, clean toilets.
Definitely qoryh a visit when in Kaunas.
Not what I was expecting at all. A spell binding experience of beautiful sculptures, fascinating stories and traditions.
A must visit if in Kaunas.
Located in a prestigious and historic city corner, houses numbered 52–72 showcase the modernist architectural style of the 1930s, known as the Architecture of Optimism (1919–1939), and are honored as UNESCO heritage. These buildings once housed the embassies of the USA and Sweden, the Hungarian consulate, and the Vatican nunciature.
Devil's Museum (house 64): This remarkable site has been renowned for a long time and continues to attract visitors.

Laisves al. is a charming and busy pedestrian street in the heart of Kaunas, Lithuania. The main shopping avenue has many shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as a small Russian Orthodox Church. The street is well-maintained and lively, with a good variety of stores. Unfortunately it can be quite cold in wintertime, but the alleyway is lovely any time of year.
There are a lot of restaurants and shops, souvenirs shop, beautiful architecture, nice place for walking and rest.

Laisvės alėja is a must-visit in Kaunas! It’s a lively pedestrian street full of cafes, shops, and beautiful greenery. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, it’s the heart of the city, where you can soak in the local vibe, grab a coffee, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. It’s a great spot to relax or people-watch!
Lovely area with a cozy environment. Beatiful trees during the day and very well illuminated during the night. There are a lot of restaurants/cafés along the avenue and also some shopping stores. And, a big and beatiful church. I totally recommend going for a long walk during the day and during the night!
A place with something special: history, memories, vibrant, attracting.
In 1847, the Russians began building the New Town (Naujamiestis), with the Laisvės Alėja (Freedom Boulevard) as its central axis. As early as 1953, the intention was to transform the boulevard into a pedestrian area, but these plans were not implemented until 1982, making the Laisvės Alėja the longest pedestrian street in Eastern Europe. The 1.7-kilometre-long boulevard is a pleasant shopping street, where you can also stroll on a warm day thanks to the double row of trees.
A great street, a wonderful boulevard full of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and local businesses. It has its own style, exceptional atmosphere, clear layout and good connections to other streets. This street is truly an example of urban planning with its landmarks and sectors. In addition, it is directly connected to the historic center of the city.
beautiful alley it's a pity it's cold and the fountain doesn't work anymore
Main street of Kaunas, clean, not crowded with a lot of small shops.There is an installation that helps you refresh on hot days.

Good shopping centre, spotless clean and so many restaurants to choose from. Overall, good shopping center - but I don’t understand how the parking works? I got a fine of €10 but I was only there for 1 hour 🤷♀️ so is it free parking 🅿️ or not. I have seen people say free parking for 4 hours. The parking is tight and mostly always full so I kinda parked close to the building (parking lot).
Very big and well organized place with a lot of shops. Food court was impressive. I was in the chinese restaurant and it was a good choice
Nice shopping mall with almost every brand presented and also nice cafes and restaurant.Near the city center
Quite big shopping centre
I was surprised to see there so many knowns brands
Nice mall! With stores for all price ranges. From everyday basic needs to luxury's products. It was nice and clean. We enjoyed the stroll and shopping experience.
Huge mall opposite the Zalgirio arena. It hosts various shops, cafes and restaurants. It has a cinema and a casino. It's ideal for shopping or to spend some time in a rainy day. There are a few small photographic exhibitions spread across, which you can explore during your visit.

This place turned to be so horrible, it took us 2 hours to check in, rude Renata did not bother herself to help us, asked for more money to ensure my mom who is pensionist and came to cure her back does not sleep on the sofa. We missed a lunch that day. Simona on the reception couldn't place the treatments on time and started to shout at us
For all this we pay almost 500 eur a night, price range of top spas around the Europe
Horrible calls center work. I did rezervation, when the date came they lost it. So i had to do all ower again, going to doctor including. Now I can not remeber if i have to come tommorow or day after tommorow and nobody is picking up the phone. So far I have spend an hour on line calling them 5 times. And nothing. Could be i will loose my appointment again,because of theyr bad job.
Registration takes ages. We got a ticket at 10:32, waited for an hour and we have not yet been called for. At 11:50 we have asked the staff that we have waited for half an hour, is it going to take much longer. Their response was that no one has waited for half an hour yet. Its been only an hour and twenty minutes.

After registration we got a voucher to make up for long wait. Updated rating.
I just had to tell you about this incredible experience I had at Egle’s Sanatorium today and yesterday. It felt like stepping into a paradise on earth! What struck me the most was the diverse mix of guests, from young adults to families with little ones, all seeking relaxation and wellness.
The highlight for me was the amazing selection of saunas they offer – from Himalayan salt saunas to infrared ones and even an ice room! It was truly a unique and rejuvenating experience, unlike anything I've ever encountered before.
The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, and despite any language barriers, the staff was incredibly polite and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcome and comfortable.
And can we talk about the swimming pools? So refreshing! Plus, they had high-quality towels and even a foot disinfection machine for added hygiene.
Overall, I felt like I was in heaven! It's definitely a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a blissful escape. Thanks for letting me share this with you!
Good location. Small rooms. Very unfriendly reception and lobby bar staff. If you do not take FB, no options to have a lunch or dinner. SPA changes and cancels procedures anytime without offering other options.
Amber SPA is great!
However good location to have a walk to the city and by the river.
Very recommended place to be with kids or without. As being very picky person, I found this place perfect ....nature, customer service and provided treatment wise. Very good trained staff, professional management. Simply loved the place! I can only guess who is the owner/manager...feels like someone American, as to beat American customer servise can only American :-)
Really good location, very clean, very professional stuff and facilities.
The only problem too many russians or belarusians, can't tell the difference between these two. I was surprised that they are allowed to come to places like this at all. But it looks like the bloody rubble is not an issue to the company. If one of them will be your next door neighbor, he won't fallow the rule not to smoke in the balcony and when you will come back after the swimming your room will stink like cheap pub, if you will leave the windows open. But otherwise, the facility is really nice, will come back for sure.

Very poor place. Went for few days spa break and come back very disappointed. All buildings apart from each other. Hotel is in one building and all procedures are in few other ones. Every time you need to put your coat on and off in cold weather.
Restaurant facilities very poor like 1960s. Only getting one small meal which is not enough. You have to sit with random people on one table which is weird.
Not recommended at all to anyone. Better leave this place alone. Very, very poor
Beautiful location and friendly and helpful staff. However Poor quality everywhere - super small ‘ luxe ‘ hotel rooms, very bad quality food ( once i as given microwaved pancakes which were like rubber and gave me stomach ache) and very unrelaxing Russian pop music, completely wrong atmosphere for relaxation. It would be much better experience just with a little more attention to detail and atmosphere, so it feels more like spa not shopping centre
A great weekend getaway if you you're looking for some rest and want some relaxing procedures. We had a handful of procedures, swimming in the pool and enjoying their saunas. The accommodation was great, with 3 meals a day and friendly, proffesional staff
Well situated bet terrible behaviour from personel in reception- very long waiting for check in, and especially - for checking out! I haven't seen inspection of the room before check out since Soviet times!!!
One of the oldest sanatoriums in Birštonas. Services are provided in several buildings. Equipments seems to be ok, service level average, but you get what you pay for.
Good place to relax, just be careful it's very crowdy at certain time so before going check in in registration
Excellent place to heal to recover your body and soul! Very pleaseful and friendly stuf, lot of procedures. Highly recommended

Lietuvos etnografijos muziejus
Museum
History Museums
Open-air museum showcasing local customs & culture, with folk performances & hands-on workshops.
Lithuanian Ethnographic Museum (Lietuvos Etnografijos Muziejus) – an absolute gem for anyone who loves culture, history, and immersive travel! 🌾🇱🇹
This place is a solid 10/10 – no exaggeration. You can easily spend the whole day here (or even longer), wandering across a vast area filled with traditional wooden houses, windmills, barns, and workshops from different regions of Lithuania. Everything is arranged with incredible attention to detail, and the interiors feel like they’re frozen in time – some even dating back 300 years.
What makes this museum special is that you don’t just look – you interact. You can step inside the buildings, touch the tools, see how everyday objects like flour or pottery were made in the past. It’s one of the most hands-on, open-air museums I’ve ever visited – perfect for families, history buffs, photographers, or anyone who wants to feel like they’ve stepped into a Witcher-style world.
There are also taverns and food stalls on-site where you can taste authentic Lithuanian cuisine – highly recommend the cepelinai (potato dumplings filled with meat and topped with crispy bacon) and craft kvass (“GIRA” – an easy 10/10!).
The entire museum is laid out like a miniature version of Lithuania, with different ethnographic regions represented – so it feels like a cultural road trip within one location. It’s clean, well-maintained, and incredibly atmospheric. The vibe is seminarium to the "witcher"

We visited this place on 26th January, on the last Sunday of the month so we did not pay the entrance ticket. The area is very big and they also turn on the lights of attractions when the sun sets. You can easily spend the entire day here. My suggestion is to come here when winter ends since all the houses were closed and there were no animals. Also, there was only one cafe open, Arbatine. We had a very nice day in the nature, and we will surely come back on summer, when the place can offer the most.
PS: The right address is L. Lekavičiaus gatvė 2 Rumšiškės and not 2 J. Aisčio gatvė, where there is only the administration office.
A great place to visit! Very well organized, with a large area perfect for walking – you can easily spend the whole day here. In the town section some points are open where you can buy things, so it’s good to bring some cash. There’s a post office, a craftsman demonstrating traditional work, a restaurant (cards accepted), and a shop with local products like honey. Highly recommended!
What a wonderful place! Don’t think of it as a museum, but as a beautiful, enormous, gorgeous natural park. It’s wonderful! So much nature, it’s breathtaking. It was free today (Sunday) and we only payed 2 euros for parking (license plate scanning).
There are toilets at the entrance.
The souvenir shop was closed as it was Sunday, I suppose, and I couldn’t see anywhere to eat, so maybe bring some snacks and water.
You can also get to the observation tower.
We wished we had more time here, you can spend hours exploring and enjoying nature!
We visit d after the close for the season day, so were not able to enter any of the houses. Still beautiful walk, and we spent almost 2 hours just walking around and enjoying beautiful landscape.
During dar season there are beutiful light instalations. This year it was called "Užburtasis slėnis". Really beautifull atmosphere
We are here last day of our Lietuva trip. This was our best place to visit. Forgot Trakai go here price is the same you see more! You can spend whole day here. Walking see and RELAX. Every house is polished with fine garden. You can rest and get a cafe too. We start at 14 and leave at 19 and see less than half. I suggest get a picnic set and go there from morning.
This is super interesting to check out.
Bring a lot of time and pick a dry day.
There is a lot of walking required for this, but it is worth it.
There are buildings from all over Lithuania, most of them can be walked though fully equipped with furniture and all in very good shape.
I liked the town center the most, there were some things to do.
The viewing tower might need an update some time soon.

Auto Moto Parkas was the main reason for us, to visit Lithuania from Switzerland. We did the monster truck drive and rally. We had a lot of fun and it was an amazing experience, also thanks to the hosts, that were very nice and funny. Would recommend it to anyone with a passion for cars.
Amazing day spent driving Monster Truck and my son driving Subaru rally car. What a great day for all family.
Recommend all for all families, great service, tasty food and friendly instructors. Thank you
Amazing experience, got to ride a manual bmw rally car around the track and experienced a monster truck! Unforgettable memories are created here, highly recommend 🔥
Great experience and something different. However very expensive unless it's a group of you. If not a gift voucher definitely wouldn't pay as much.
What an amazing experience. I was gifted a rally and Aiste (one of the professional drivers) created an unforgettable memory for me while we drove around the course. Everyone here is so welcoming and makes sure that you feel safe. I had the opportunity to experience both a monster car ride and a rally drive which was awesome. I loved the adrenaline rush and will definitely be back soon:)
A fun ride. If there's anyone seeking some soft adrenaline this place is a must go. There are few options with monster trucks, to drive with a driver and to try driving yourself. We went for the first option and it was very fun. There's also racing cars around and you can drive with them. The sad thing is, the prices. It seemed pretty expensive at first when buying the coupon, but then when arriving they asked to pay 30 euros more because of rising gas prices... While it's understandable it is also absurd..
My first ride with this pretty monster 👹🤟. I am super happy. My childhood dream came true 🔥🔥🔥 And very nice instructor!

Trakai Island Castle

Museums
Trakai Island Castle is a picturesque turreted castle situated on a serene island in Lake Galve, just off the coast of Trakai. Dating back to the 14th century, this Gothic castle offers visitors a glimpse into Lithuania's rich history and culture. Connected to the mainland by a charming footbridge, the castle houses the impressive Trakai History Museum, showcasing an array of artifacts including chainmail, medieval weapons, embroidery, and glassware.
A Trip Back in Time at Trakai Castle!
Wow, what an incredible place! If you want to feel like you’ve stepped straight into a fairytale, you absolutely have to visit Trakai Castle. The whole experience starts with a walk across a wooden bridge over the lake, and the view of the majestic red-brick towers is just breathtaking. From the moment you arrive, you get this amazing medieval feeling.
We had the best time exploring the cobblestone courtyard, climbing the wooden stairs, and peeking into the old halls. You can almost hear the echoes of knights and dukes from centuries ago! The museum inside is really well done and brings the castle's fascinating history to life. It truly feels like a journey back to the 15th century.
Just a friendly heads-up, the castle is currently undergoing some important restoration work to keep it looking fantastic for years to come. While this means some areas might be sectioned off, it honestly didn't affect our visit. There is still so much to see and explore, and the atmosphere is completely magical.
Don't let the ongoing work put you off! This place is 100% worth the visit for its stunning beauty and incredible historical vibe. We absolutely loved it!

Visiting Trakai Island Castle was like stepping into a living piece of Lithuanian history. The moment you cross the wooden bridge over Lake Galvė, the red-brick towers appear in full majesty — calm, proud, and full of stories. Inside, each hall has its own character: the Grand Duke’s chamber feels royal and atmospheric, the armory impresses with real swords and armor, and the exhibition about Vytautas the Great brings the medieval world to life. I loved how well-preserved everything is — you can almost imagine knights, musicians, and nobles walking through these halls centuries ago.
Helpful Tips for Visitors:
Arrive early, especially on weekends — it gets crowded quickly. Book tickets online in advance to skip the queue. Take a guided tour or audio guide — it adds so much depth to the visit. Bring cash for local shops or snacks — not all vendors accept cards. Don’t miss the inner courtyard and lake views — perfect for photos. Families with kids should visit the dungeon and towers — they’re always a hit! After the castle, try the legendary kibinai at “Senoji Kibininė” nearby — the perfect finish to your day. Trakai Castle isn’t just a tourist attraction — it’s a real time machine that lets you feel the spirit of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. A must-see for anyone who loves history, architecture, or simply beautiful places that make you pause and breathe in the past.
Stunning castle in one of the most beautiful settings in the world. We were lucky with the weather as it had been raining all day the previous day. The restauration of the castle is amazing and still ongoing. Certain areas were closed because of that and because we visited out of season. But still lots to see with a huge number of period artefacts. Gives you an idea of how important trade was. Tranquil setting with nice walks in the area. Not many visitors but I can imagine it gets very busy in Summer. Good restaurants around on the lake side leading to the castle. It's a good walk from the station, about 3km, but beautiful along the lakes. The whole experience was magnificent and the on site toilets were immaculate. Access for wheelchair users a bit tricky and you need to be fairly sure footed due to the old cobbled roads and paths. But what a place. Return rail ticket from Vilnius was about €6.
A very cool medieval castle and a museum!
Despite some rain and October gloomy weather, we had a great time exploring the castle. The grey skies gave the whole location a nice vibe, and the forest and lake surrounding the castle looked stunning.
Had an lovely experience visiting Trakai. Nestled in nature, the entire environment is incredibly calming and beautiful. The colorful houses and the vibrant surroundings make it a truly picturesque destination. The peaceful ambiance, especially with water all around, adds to the tranquility. And of course, if you visit, you absolutely must try the kibinai, a delicious local treat that adds an authentic touch.
Absolutely worth the trip!
I visited Trakai Castle in October, and it was absolutely stunning. The autumn colors made the entire island look like something out of a fairy tale — golden leaves reflecting on the calm lake, with the red brick walls of the castle standing proudly in the middle. The weather was cool but pleasant, perfect for exploring without crowds.
The walk across the wooden bridge to the castle is beautiful and gives you plenty of photo opportunities. Inside, the museum is well-organized, with interesting exhibits about Lithuanian history, the Grand Dukes, and medieval life. There’s also a sense of calm and history that you can really feel as you wander through the courtyards and towers.
Even though some areas felt a bit touristy (like the souvenir stalls near the entrance), it didn’t take away from the experience. I’d recommend stopping at one of the nearby cafés to try kibinai, the local pastry — warm and delicious on a chilly autumn day.
Overall: A must-visit if you’re in Lithuania. Trakai Castle in autumn is simply magical — peaceful, picturesque, and full of history.
We visited a beautiful, photogenic castle situated on an island surrounded by water. During our visit, a portion of the castle was closed for renovation, which unfortunately affected the quality of our photographs. The interior of the castle is rich in history, and the local guide was very knowledgeable in sharing its stories.
The Trakai Island Castle (Trakų salos pilis) is a stunning medieval fortress set on an island in Lake Galvė, Lithuania. Reached by wooden bridges, it feels like stepping into a fairytale. The red-brick towers, calm waters, and scenic surroundings make it one of the country’s most photogenic spots. The museum inside is informative, and boat views are magical at sunset. A must-visit day trip from Vilnius for history and nature lovers alike.

A beautiful old Orthodox church) It has its architectural features and it's difficult to get past. Unfortunately, the church may be closed even on weekends.
This is a beautiful church in a breathtaking place in Lithuania, a couple of dozen kilometers from the capital, from Vilnius. This place, this town, Trakai, which is located between the beautiful lakes and which in the old days was the capital of the Lithuanian duchy, simply incomparably magnificent. This church was founded in the first half of the 19th century, during the Russian imperial occupation of Lithuania. First, a small building was built. During the brutal First World War, the church was badly damaged. After several years of worship, the divine service was restored there.
A beautiful church worth visiting. However, it may not be easy to park a car nearby, and the church itself is not always open.

It's Sunday, where is my money

We visited Vilnius and found the lucky belly attached to a wall. You can easily missed it, but we are lucky enough to touch it and hopefully it will bring good fortune.😊

Easy to miss but so fun and cute to give it a rub for good luck. Made my family do it while on our trip last week. Worth checking out in my opinion. I love little silly sights that are fun to track down. It was right around the corner of our Airbnb.
Would not recommend to go there on purpose. It's a definite hit and miss. If you want to see it, add it to your list, because otherwise you will miss it walking past by it.
If you want to add to your luck, you are better off with something more original, like the Stebuklas (Magical Brick) at the Cathedral Square.
I thought that it is more special. If u go pass it its okey too visit it.
Very funny landmark in the centre of Vilnius. You have to keep your eyes open, or you will pass it without knowing! It represent a belly that you can rub for good luck. I rubbed it, but I'm still waiting to see if it works...
Still, if you have 5 minutes, I recommend you go and see it, as it's a lot of fun and promises for funny pictures. A certain not-to-miss when visiting Vilnius!
I bumped into it by chance and I tried my luck. Not very big, i just notice it because I had seen a picture of it before.
Cute statue, but hard to get close enough to rub it with all the foliage and restaurant signage acting as sentries
Very random. Main purpose is to attract tourists. Easy to walk past because its nothing special and just something small on the wall of modern building.
