When to go

Kaunas is warmest in August at 20.1 °C but brightest in May, averaging 13.5 hours of sun a day — the two do not always coincide, which is worth knowing before booking. Its coldest is January at -1.3 °C.

How busy it gets

Kauno apskritis records 2.5 overnight stays per resident a year (1,485,242 nights in 2024). Comparatively quiet by European standards.

Eurostat, nights spent at tourist accommodation by NUTS 3 region, against resident population. Shown for context only — it plays no part in which destinations appear or in what order. Eurostat does not cover the United Kingdom after 2016, nor North Africa or the Levant at all, so this figure is absent for roughly a third of the destinations here.
