Arriving at Kaunas Airport or sailing into Kaunas Port puts you right near the heart of Lithuania's cultural capital. With its picturesque old town, Baroque architecture, and the largest grouping of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe, Kaunas has charm to spare. Renting a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike allows you to fully immerse yourself in the city on your own schedule.
Wander through the majestic red brick Kaunas Castle complex and admire the Gediminas Tower overlooking the Neris River. Stroll along Pilies Street's cobblestone walkways past churches, monasteries and 16th century merchants' houses. Grab a table at one of the atmospheric cafés near the striking Vilniaus Rotušė, Kaunas' neoclassical town hall.
For an escape from the city, take your rental on the open road. Ride along the Neris River through forests and meadows dotted with traditional Lithuanian country houses. Head northwest to Trakai, the picturesque former capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and walk the grounds of its iconic island castle.
Or venture south to Druskininkai, a charming spa town nestled among pine forests and mineral springs. Wherever your rental motorcycle or scooter takes you, don't miss trying cepelinai, stuffed potato dumplings smothered in a meaty sauce - the quintessential Lithuanian comfort food. And be sure to sample some of the surprisingly excellent local craft beers now being brewed across Lithuania.
With so much rich history and culture to experience, Kaunas is a city best explored on two wheels.
