(Translated by Google) Well maintained castle in a very nice environment. The castle on the banks of the Neris dates back to the 13th century. It was first mentioned in the 16th century and is the oldest stone castle in Lithuania. It was surrounded by a wall 2 meters wide and 13 meters high, today only a part of it is visible. (Original) Jól karbantartott vár, nagyon szép környezetben. A Neris partján álló várat a XIII. században említették először, ez Litvánia legrégebbi kővára. 2 méter széles és 13 méter magas fal vette körül, ma már csak egy része látható.

It is a lovely castle by the river. The murals around are so beautiful and worthy of admiration. You can enjoy walking through the park nearby along the river.

A nice historical monument that is in excellent condition. The whole area looks very good, also maintained thanks to small automatic lawn mowers. It looks very futuristic when they have a whole "army" of them. There is a nice view from the castle, there is also a park, amphitheater, restaurant and river banks.

Nice to visit and see a little bit of history. The museum inside was small, but nice to escape the wind. The outside of the castle is beautiful. If you have some time to kill, going inside is nice but isn’t necessary.

Yes, the museum is small. Yes, only a small part of the castle remains and yes, it is mostly rebuild as only a tiny part is original. But still, you cannot overpass this site without giving a look when you are in the Old City of Kaunas. Besides the nice view, it gives an idea how the place was during the medieval era.

The castle and the museum is so small and do not worth the price of the ticket. If you want to watch the view from the top of the castle you can definitely go up the stairs in front of the castle, you would have a better horizon than going into the viewing platform.

Nice castle with a small but interesting exhibits, starting down below from the entrance and culminating in the top of the renovating tower. Enough things to keep children entertained, no disabled access.

Beautiful place to visit if you are in Kaunas. You can also walk in the park near the castle which is also good. Nice view with river. Sculpture Freedom warrior is also nearby. Lucky if you can go there in a less crowded day.

Nice place, but not many artifacts are left for visitors.

A small but pretty castle in nice open and green surroundings, at least to one side.

(Translated by Google) The environment is very well organized, the landscape is suitable for city celebrations. Be sure to come in and have a look around. (Original) Labai gerai sutvarkyta aplinka, landšaftas pritaikytas miesto šventėms. Būtinai užeikite ir apeikite aplink.

Such places are always worth to visit, especially with kids, and tell them a little bit of history. That should appreciate freedom we have thanking our ancestors.

Came for the afternoon, lovely castle with large green spaces around to chill out in 😁 good, but small museum inside and lots of bars and food places nearby. Worth visiting 👌

Recommend to visit for everyone. Some pics from hot air baloon :)

Very beautiful castle and view

Really worth a visit. It is full of very interesting artefacts that are well displayed in their relevant settings. Superbly displayed and cared for, with detailed explanations of their functionality. Whole rooms are re created, you are transported back in time. Fun for adults and kids,it gave a good insight into Lithuanias glorious past.

An interesting historical place. Very steep spiral staircases.

Nice relaxing and Walking place

Loved this place- interesting, small but well done with basement and 3 upper floors that affords you fabulous views of the city for €3 entry

Nice little castle. Can go upstairs for free and take photos from the view point. Very central and close by to everything.

Not the biggest or the grandest but worth a visit and it’s a nice historic bit of window dressing for the town.

small but cool castle tower with a history behind it. start from the basement!!

Enjoyed too see ! Open space for children's to play ;)

Nice walk to the Kaunas castle even if it was snowing. There isn't much to be seen apart from what is on the photos. I didn't went inside cos there were some soldiers practicing around the castle.

Kaunas Castle is a calling card of the city) This castle is even older, but only a fourth of the original building remains. It was destroyed and rebuilt many times. After the Battle of Grunwald, Kaunas Castle lost its strategic military importance and was used as a residence. Today the Castle is a must-see attraction for everyone who visit Kaunas. It looks well-kept but there's no interesting exhibitions inside. But still you can took a photo in front of the castle or have a nice walk in a picturesque place.

Very small castle ruins. The marketing photo shows a huge castle but in teality only one small tower and a wall fragment remained. In the tower there is a tiny museum but to be honest there is really nothing worth seeing. Views from the tower are ok, but it definitely wasn't something I expected getting my family there. On the other hand - it was a nice time, my expectations were just higher than reality. Only a short walk from center.

The gentleman at the tickets stand was great owtner for conversation about history of the places. The visit is cheap and the castle is very representative for local rulers.

Smaller Castle with great surroundings. Only went to the outside of the castle and not the actual inside with museum. But I would still recommend just to see the outside and the surrounding park. Since you have the Santakos park just right by and also the old city in close proximity. You have very good views if you climb the castle stairs since you can go up there separately from the inside portion that's paid (3€ normal ticket and 1,5€ reduced) If you're traveling by car you also have big paid parking very close.

Beautiful piece of history, very clean and the views are beautiful. Definitely worth visiting. Nearby is cafe where u can enjoy the view of the castle, also there’s a nice park and foot bath for long walks or picnic.

You must see this castle when you visit Kaunas. It’s really beautiful especially during sunset. You can walk along the river and it’s refreshing. :)

Absolutely loved this place. This place is full of historical landmarks. The castle is situated on the coast of the river. The information about the castle may be seen in front of the castle. There are statues and playgrounds around the place. Definitely worth seeing.

Really cool place. Although the museum is pretty small. Plenty of places around to explore and cool photo opportunity with the Kaunas sign.

It's a nice area with a great vantage point from the tower, however, I can't rate it five stars because it's not at all obvious which part is historical and which is reconstruction.

Original Kaunas castle was built in mid 14-th century, and became one of the main objects of attacks of Crusareds. As a guide I must tell you these were technologically highly advance medieval knights, that included personalities like Henry Bolingbroke and later King Henry IV. Though majority of attackers were Germans. The most blody battle ensued before Easter 1362, when almost all crew of Vaidotas, son of Duke Kęstutis were killed. After Žalgiris (Grunewald) battle, the castle lost its importance. It was abandoned for ages, only in Soviet Lithuani the main tower was refurbished, and it underwent the major exploration and restoration already in Inpendent Lithuania of 21st century. Today it hosts concerts, history festivals and many festive events each spring and summer // Kauno pilis pirmą kartą minima XIV amžiaus viduryje, daugiausiai dėl nelaimingos Kęstučio sūnaus Vaidoto vadovaujamos įgulos žūties 1361 metais. Iš 300 karių liko keliolika. Po kurio laiko lietuviai pilį atsiėmė, tačiau po Žalgirio mūšio ji neteko strateginės vertės. Kauniečiai čia augino daržoves, aplinkui kūrėsi žydų kvartalas, o iki XX a. dabartiniai grioviai buvo užversti. Pilis pradėta gaivinti ir muziejinti dar Tarybų Lietuvoje, tačiau restauracija ir renovacija ypač išsiplėtė pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais, kai čia vyksta daug koncertų, švenčių, istorijos festivalių – tame tarpe, Kauno gimtadienis ir Hanza dienos gegužės pabaigoje.

Partly in ruins but still imposant. This area has a nice view to all directions of Kaunas

It used to be the capital of Lithuania. Founded in the 13th century, Kaunas castle is the earliest defense fortification in Lithuania, which has stood firm in the war of defense against the Crusaders. It's about an hour's walk from the railway station

Beautiful town ! Nice restaurants and a lot of young people !

If you like castles, you must visit it. This castle is one of the oldest buildings in Kaunas. There is a museum inside, so you will learn some history here too.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place to explore in any season, day and night and the surroundings. In the city center on the river bank and all around are perfect places for walks or bike rides. Inside is a museum exhibition and with a tower a beautiful view of the surroundings. Parking next door and the city center a stone's throw away. In winter, the wind is windy, so quality clothes with you. (Original) Krásné místo k poznání v jakémkoliv ročním období, v den i noc i s okolím.

Interesting historical place. Sad that they made seats and stairs where the hill is, it's much more authentic to sit on the grass 😐

Not big castle and exhibits but there's nothing to regret after visit. Good place to sit for a while and calmly watch nature around.

It's a beautiful place to come and walk a very large territory and there is a park nearby there is a river, you can sit near the water and just dream

Lovely park to spend an evening. Lots of restaurants around, kids can be kept busy with rentable electric scooters. 😉

Unmissable stop on your trip to Kaunas! Great green space around. Generally a great place to hang out in the city!

Not much of historical things to see.

An honest place. It will cover all your basic needs at a very reasonable and affordable price! Good value for money!

Not much to say about it. It's a castle... You can look at it, go for a walk in the surrounding park and stadium, cool place to wait around if you have nothing better to do, quite a good tourist spot if you're ever in the area.

I saw in Winter when it was cold and everywhere were surrounded in snow. But yet there was a man sleeping inside the castle, have no idea how could he get in, and non-stop snoring loud like a mountain troll... Great memories.

Nice castle which has been restored well. It's well worth a look around. It has been made into quite an attraction with various activities for all ages. If you get the chance there are some newly excavated parts of the old castle grounds which are worth taking a look at. They are now surrounded by more modern buildings.

Kaunas Castle from 14 century. Not open Mondays

Unfortunately the castle was closed by the time we arrived, but we were still able to climb the stairs and get a great view. The area surrounding the castle is cool too visit as there is the #Kaunas sign, lots of green space for picnics, paths for walking/scooting and there are hot air balloons to see!

I am interested about Kaunas Castle

Calling it "castle" it' s a little too much. It mostly consists of ruins of a small tower and some walls around. I wouldn't say it is anything special but the park around and the walking paths are really chill and well mantained.

Beautifil castle, perfect location to visit, near old town, river,park💯🙂👌

Wonderful place especially on sunset times....

Remains of a medieval castle, not much left but fixed up nicely. When we were there, there was two men dressed up as knights demonstrating how knights fought, very cool!

The castle at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers was built in the 14th century to defend against the onslaught of crusaders. This is not only one of the first stone castles in Lithuania, but also the only one that has two rows of defensive walls. A settlement that grew into the current city was created around the Gothic defences. Kaunas castle first mentioned in written sources in 1361. According to legend, Queen Bona Sforza’s troops mysteriously disappeared in the tunnels underneath. Although it was restored multiple times, the castle lost its importance in 1408 when Kaunas was granted Magdeburg rights and the life of the whole city moved to the Market (Town Hall) Square. The castle was home to a prison in the 16th century and the souls of the prison’s inmates have not found peace to this very day, haunting the castle still by night. At present, the castle is a Kaunas city museum branch and annual cultural events are held in and around it.

(Translated by Google) Cheap museum / castle Quick visit Well laid out except for the somewhat steep interior stairs. Particularly interactive and playful museum. Beautiful views at the top of the castle (Original) Musée / château pas cher Visite rapide Bien aménagé sauf les escaliers intérieurs un peu raides. Musee particulièrement interactif et ludique. De belles vues en haut du château

Very beautiful and scenic castle, and a nice location too! The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars, is because it is a smaller castle with not so much to see and do. I would recommend coming here!

Very beautiful castle - definitely something to see if you are visiting Kaunas.

Really nice place to look around and explore, beautiful views over the rivers and of the old ruins

You can tell why this castle was built exactly where it stands, as both rivers combine just in front of it. Still well preserved.

Nice place to spend and afternoon walking around and taking photos.

Amazing Kaunas castle surrounded by huge park. Here you can enjoy medieval architecture, nature surrounded by biggest Lithuanian rivers.

Lots to explore in this area. You can start with a trail to the view point of Kaunas then go through the castles whilst enjoying a variety of bars and restaurants, all walking distances from each other

Interesting museum. Skip going upstairs if you suffer vertigo or are unsure on your feet, the spiral staircase is narrow.

Kaunas Castle is quite small, but the neighbour area is nice and must visit for Kaunas tourists.

We just went around a bit. But it looked very beautiful. Love the heritage.

Nice short walk to the castle from the old town. Good for a short visit or if you wanna relax abit in its garden. There's a pleasant café opposite the castle

Not too much to see. What's left of the castle is nice and worth a detour if passing by Kaunas on the motorway. But not worth a trip of its own.

A nice tour in the castle, nothing extraordinary. The Castle is big, but the exhibition tour is relatively small. Recommend for a quick visit.

A striking medieval fortress in the heart of Kaunas. As one of the oldest stone castles in Lithuania, it tells tales of battles and bygone eras. The architecture is a blend of Gothic and Romanesque styles, making it a visual treat. Don't miss the exhibitions inside, and enjoy the serene surroundings by the Neris and Nemunas rivers. A historic gem in Lithuania's second-largest city.

I really like this castle-looking place. There’s a playground, there is a downhill, and even there is a church. It’s a calming place.
