Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Piotr S — 3 months ago

Up to top on cart, back down on foot 😃 Cost one way €1. Just cash accepted. Cash is king 💪

**★★★★★ Karen Smedley — 7 months ago

A quick journey up and down the hill to Aleksotas and the lookout. €1 each way (50 cents for over 65s). There are steps and a path at the side if you prefer to walk up the hill but it's different and worth the price.

**★★★★★ André Marques — a year ago

Easy to find using Google Maps, just in front of the bridge. 1 euro per person per way; seniors pay 50 cents. Short ride but beautiful. When you get to the top, you are greeted with an amazing panoramic view of Kaunas and especially now in autumn, it truly is breathtaking!

**★★★★☆ Beverley Bovett — 4 months ago

Beautifully restored and only €1 to go up CAsh ONLY NO CARD. There is a view point at the top with an illy coffee machine with great views over the city. Stop and take a walk around the streets there. There is a monestry and some beautiful traditional and very modern houses.

**★★★★☆ Ai — 4 months ago

It's a fun experience to ride on this old funicular but not necessary for the journey as it's quite a short ride up and you could easily just walk it as well. It's very cheap at only €1 so it's fun to just ride on the way up and you can easily take the stairs back down.

At the top, there wasn't too much but some ok views of the city.
