Where to stay in Eiguliai
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Eiguliai keeps housing, not hotels. The microdistrict raised here in 1979 stands roughly 6 km out from the centre of Kaunas, so a traveller weighing a bed against a day of sightseeing books nearer that centre and leaves this elderate to the flats along its own streets. Dainava borders it to the east, Vilijampolė and Šilainiai to the west.

About Eiguliai
What are the main landmarks in Eiguliai?
Eiguliai's landmark roll stops at two entries. A parish church and a fort make the whole list: the Blessed Jurgis Matulaitis Church serves the housing raised here, and the 7th Fort of the Kaunas Fortress lies within the same elderate. Kleboniškis and part of Kalniečiai fall under it too.
Central Kaunas lies roughly 6 km off.
What is the history of Eiguliai?
A village, then a plan. Eiguliai stayed a small settlement outside Kaunas until 1959, when the city took it in, and the residential microdistrict that gave the place its present shape went up twenty years later in 1979. Kleboniškis and part of Kalniečiai came under the same elderate.
Village, absorption, blocks: that sequence is the whole of what the record keeps for Eiguliai, and the deeper past belongs to Kaunas rather than to this bank of the Neris.
Where is Eiguliai?
Eiguliai lies on the left bank of the Neris, roughly 6 km from the centre of Kaunas, with Dainava to the east and Šilainiai to the west.
