Exploring Eiguliai

Eiguliai is a residential district located on the left bank of the Neris River. Travelers visit this area primarily to access the historical remnants of the Kaunas Fortress, specifically the Seventh Fort, which serves as a memorial and museum documenting the region's military and political history.

Getting There

The district is situated approximately 6 km from downtown Kaunas. It is accessible via local public transport or by car. The journey from the city center typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Duration of Visit

Depending on whether you are walking through the residential streets or visiting the historical sites, allow 2 to 4 hours. Most visitors spend the majority of their time exploring the fortifications and the surrounding open spaces.
