About Dainava (Kaunas)
Where to stay in Dainava (Kaunas)
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.

Dainava is a planned neighbourhood rather than a hotel quarter, so the question a traveller settles here is whether the Good Shepherd church and the blocks around it are near enough to whatever the day is for. Seven square kilometres is a short crossing. Kaunas keeps the wider choice of rooms, and Dainava answers for anyone whose reason to be in the city sits in its north-northeast part.

What are the main landmarks in Dainava (Kaunas)?
Three places of worship are listed. The Good Shepherd church, Kauno Naujoji apaštalų bažnyčia and the Kaunas Mormon church are what the record files under Dainava, and between them they give a district of repeating blocks its three fixed addresses. Dainava's register stops at those three doors.
