    Amberton Cozy hotel

    Posted by Fidge 5 December 2010

    Seen as one of the best hotels in Kaunas. Only just behind the old town square and leading onto the most happening street (Vilniaus) the location is perfect.
    Very friendly and we paid 40€ a night when we booked.

    B.O. pub

    Posted by Fidge 5 December 2010

    Unpretentious bar, popular with students and other 'alternative' 20-somethings.
    Pints at about £1.
    And one other thing. The name is short for Blue Orange.

    9 Muitinės gatvė, Kaunas 44001
    Just a stone's throw from old town square.
    +370 37 20 65 42
    Open: 09.30 - 02.00 (until 3.00 on Fri & Sat). Not surprisingly does not open until 15.00 on Sunday.

    Medziotoju Uzeiga restaurant

    Posted by Fidge 5 December 2010

    Located in the town hall square, this restaurant is seen as one of the better establishments in Kaunas. Yet to UK pockets this is not at all an expensive establishment. We paid 63 Lt for two starters and mains.
    The restaurant itself resembles a Medieval manor house.
    When we were there in November the menu included roe deer sausage, wild boar as well as game. Fish was also on menu.

    10 Rotušės aikšte, Kaunas 44001 (on old town square)
    +370 37 32 09 56
    Open 11.00 - 24.00

    Good bar in the old town in Kaunas. Seems to be very popular with students. Locally brewed pints come in around £1, with Guiness at £1.50

    In Your Pocket Guide

    Posted by Fidge 15 November 2010

    The 'in your pocket' series of guidebooks are well worth recommending. The guides are written by locals and are updated on a regular basis.
    Even better, they are free and can be downloaded as PDFs from the website.
