Rumšiškės and Pažaislis from Kaunas by car

Pažaislis monastery and the Lithuanian Open Air Museum in Rumšiškės fit into one day by car from Kaunas, because Pažaislis is on the way. First see the Baroque monastery, then drive to Rumšiškės to walk among old farmsteads. Practical tip: the Pažaislis centre is open Tuesday to Friday 10:00–17:00 and on Saturday 10:00–15:30, and closed to visitors on Monday and Sunday, so choose a weekday or Saturday. From 16 October to 31 March the interiors in the Rumšiškės museum are closed, so it is visited as a park daily 10:00–16:00, and one hour less on the eve of a holiday. Dress warmly and prepare for a longer walk outdoors.
