Kaišiadorys District Municipality offers travel experiences ranging from archaeological heritage and educational activities to waterside pursuits. To plan your visit, choose a clear focus: a historic site, a seasonal programme or a day of outdoor activities and cultural events. If dates matter, check them in advance.
Culture, Hillfort and Ferry
Budeliai Hillfort is in Kaišiadorys District Municipality, near the only motorless ferry in operation in Lithuania. Their proximity makes the combination of an archaeological site and a distinctive ferry crossing an obvious option for a day’s itinerary. If you plan to visit both, check the ferry timetable before you go.
Summer Experiences and Crafts
The “Aspersa” snail farm was established in 2012 on the banks of the Strėva in the village of Pavuolys, Kaišiadorys District Municipality, and offers educational and tasting programmes in summer. A visit therefore combines a culinary discovery with an educational experience. As the programme is seasonal, coordinate your visit with the current schedule.
Educational activities led by artisans can be booked at the Žaslių tradicinių amatų centras. This is another way to explore traditional crafts. If you would like to include this activity in your plans, confirm availability before your trip.
Waterside Activities and Events
Activities at the beach by Girelė II Pond include swimming, crossing a bridge, jumping into the water, outdoor tennis and volleyball. Along with spending time by the water, you can enjoy physical activities and ball games. Check the conditions before your visit.
The Lietuvos etnografijos muziejus hosts events such as Užgavėnės, Žolinė, Pirties diena, Joninės and Oninės. Cultural events and museum nights are held at and around the Brazauskų namai-muziejus. If a particular event is a key reason for your trip, check the dates before planning your stay around it.
Culture in the wider destination of Kaunas District
In the wider destination of Kaunas District, Kaunas Castle offers guided tours and educational programmes. It is the city’s oldest historical landmark and one of Lithuania’s oldest brick castles, built in the mid-14th century. Exhibitions in the restored and reconstructed tower present the castle’s history, changes to its walls and the changing functions it has served from the 14th century to the present day.
Also in the wider destination of Kaunas District is Raudondvaris Manor Castle, a Renaissance architectural monument dating from the early 17th century. The interactive “Dramaturas” audio tour, created using artificial intelligence, tells the story of the manor and the romantic tragedy of Žygimantas Augustas and Barbora Radvilaitė. Its 14 stops take visitors through halls, cellars and the park, as well as around the surrounding manor complex. Check in advance whether the tour is available on your visit date.
