We love this pizza place. Try their four cheese pizza and ask for pepperoni on top.

There are multiple Caffeine places in Kaunas. The closest one is just 800 meters away from your property. We pick this coffee house over other places because they use paper cups and paper cup covers. A milk based matcha with spices is awesome so are their coffees. Use their app to get 10% cashback and maybe even bring your cup to get a 10% discount.

Sweet milkshakes, smoothies, lemonades, and a few decent dishes. I go there only for "Curly fries with pepperoni", everything else is so n so. Pictures are better than their dishes.

Some say these are the best kebabs in country while others claim it's now a dumpster fire with awful quality. It's a gamble :) I suggest a pork+beef combo with potato "stix" and a mix sauce. Not every worker speaks English fluently though.

If you insist on traveling a bit for a “decent" local food, this could be it. Get meat "zeppelins" with sour cream and pork cracklings. Everyone loves those. Some other national dishes there include "vėdarai" (potato stuffed intestine sausage) or "kugelis" (potato pudding). For a soup, there’s a cold beetroot soup called “šaltibarščiai”, boiled potatoes is a must when eating.

A cool pizza place close to your apartment. Get the special "green sauce" when ordering. Medium size is the best size.

Grab a coffee and take a walk from your apartment to Kaunas castle. It's a long walk that extends from the start till the very end of city center. It's a default walk destination for many Lithuanians.

We love to go for a walks in this place. A vast pine woods occupies a significant area in this neighbourhood. There's a Neorenaissance style Holy Virgin Mary church built in the middle of the 19th century is located in Panemunė elderate, but it's not a big attraction.

Also known as "Rokų atodanga", another decent place for short walks if you're in the area. Otherwise, not worth to visit just this one spot.
