Where to stay in Aleksotas
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Aleksotas gives a visitor the Lithuanian Aviation Museum and the Povilas Stulga Museum of Lithuanian Folk Instruments, and a bed in the district is worth taking when those two sit at the centre of the trip. Kaunas holds the rest. Twenty-four square kilometres give the district room, and the Church of the Holy Cross is one of the fixed points a stay here can be measured against.

About Aleksotas
What are the main landmarks in Aleksotas?
Four names are filed here. The Lithuanian Aviation Museum and the Povilas Stulga Museum of Lithuanian Folk Instruments cover the district's museums, while the Church of the Holy Cross carries the Carmelite name in the same list. A second church completes the set.
Aleksotas keeps an aviation collection and a folk-instrument collection inside the same district boundary, which is what a visitor is choosing between on a short stay.
What is the history of Aleksotas?
The date on file is 1408. The record gives that year and no account of what was founded, which leaves the Church of the Holy Cross and the two museums as the visible part of a longer story. Aleksotas is counted as a district of Kaunas.
The founding year and the Lithuanian Aviation Museum belong to the same twenty-four square kilometres, which is the range a single district can cover.
Where is Aleksotas?
Aleksotas covers twenty-four square kilometres of Kaunas, ground that carries the Lithuanian Aviation Museum and the Church of the Holy Cross.
