Activities in Kaunas

Padel is growing quickly in Kaunas, with courts in different parts of the city, from the centre to Žaliakalnis. Indoor and outdoor facilities make it possible to play throughout the year.

Book ahead, particularly for evening sessions. If you do not have a racket, many venues offer hire and lessons for beginners. Arrange a playing partner and choose a court in a convenient part of the city. For your first game, take a gentler pace and book a shorter session.

Warm up with a brisk walk in Ąžuolynas or along Laisvės alėja on your way to the courts. After playing, head to the Nemunas or Neris to enjoy the view. For a more active day, add go-karting or bowling.

Kaunas has indoor go-kart tracks where you can race all year. Tracks vary in length and number of bends, offering options for newcomers and experienced drivers. You will receive a safety briefing and a helmet before starting.

Choose a timed session or a small race with friends. Comparing results adds to the competition. Afterwards, walk through the Old Town or visit Kaunas Castle. Booking ahead can save time when you arrive.

If you come with family, spectators can wait in the designated areas. Always check the venue’s age restrictions and safety rules. In the evening, use up any remaining energy with a riverside walk towards the confluence.

Bowling venues are accessible in central Kaunas and residential districts, including entertainment centres served by public transport. They suit birthdays, team outings or a relaxed evening for two. Locations near Laisvės alėja make it convenient to meet up and walk back afterwards.

Reserve a lane ahead of time, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Shoes are available at the venue; choose a ball weight that feels manageable. For a more energetic game, keep up the pace and aim for a personal best.

After the game, continue the evening on Laisvės alėja or walk around Nemunas Island. Courtyards and small squares near the Old Town offer places for a short break. If the weather is poor, consider a nearby indoor climbing venue.

The city offers woodland ropes courses and indoor climbing spaces. Ąžuolynas and its paths make a good setting for a warm-up beforehand. Beginners can try lower routes, while experienced climbers can choose more demanding challenges.

Indoor climbing venues have instructors and walls of different heights and profiles. Wear comfortable sports clothing; you can hire suitable footwear or bring your own. After your session, take a break near the meeting of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. Climbing chalk and protective equipment support safe participation.

To see the city from above, take the Aleksotas funicular and finish the day at the viewpoint. Return to the Old Town for an easy evening walk. This combination works well for a weekend outing.
