Kaunas bus station (Vytauto pr. 24) and railway station (M. K. Čiurlionio g. 16) are close to each other: it is about 620 m on foot between them, roughly 8 min. It is 3.4–3.7 km on foot from both to the old town, so with luggage it is worth taking city transport or a taxi. Some FlixBus services to Vilnius and Klaipėda leave not from the bus station but from the “IX fortas” stop. We calculated the distances from OpenStreetMap data and checked the services on 2026-10-06.

Where FlixBus leaves from

On the FlixBus Kaunas–Riga route page one stop in Kaunas is given: the bus station (page, checked on 2026-10-06). The search shows more. The table shows services from Kaunas on 12 December 2026, for one adult (search example, checked on 2026-10-07):

To Vilnius and Klaipėda most services that day left from “IX fortas”. The search does not show the stop’s address, so we do not write it or the way to the station. Other search results may differ.
