Since both Vilnius and Kaunas are in the Schengen Area, a passport is not required for European Union (EU) or Schengen-associated country citizens. A national ID card is sufficient.
We recommend using the bus as it is the most popular way to get from Vilnius to Kaunas among Omio's users.
Lithuania uses the euro (EUR) as its currency. Travelers generally find card payments widely accepted in cities and larger establishments, but having some cash is useful for small shops, markets, or rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Kaunas, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and public transport. It's advisable to watch personal belongings and avoid accepting unsolicited help from strangers. Scams involving unofficial taxi services can occur, so using licensed taxis or ride-hailing apps is recommended. Additionally, travelers should be aware of ATM skimming and only use machines located in secure, well-lit areas.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
