Traveller notes on Kaunas in October
Notes from nearby Vilnius (91 km away)
Kaunas doesn't have its own notes for October yet — these are about Vilnius, close enough to share the season.
Vilnius's forum splits October cleanly in two — early in the month still pleasant and sunny around 15°C, the back half rarely climbing past 10°C and noticeably rainier, with an occasional early snow possible by the very end. Regulars flag the city's jazz and short-film festivals as an October draw, and note nightlife actually picks up as summer's vacationers return.
