Klaipeda is a lively Lithuanian port city with a multi-layered history and a special atmosphere of the Baltic coast. Lithuania’s third largest city, once known as Memel, combines traces of the Prussian and German past, cozy promenades and modern urban life. The sea air, the narrow cobbled streets of the Old Town and the noise of the port create a unique impression and invite you to discover the city step by step.
Man-made attractions here are diverse and accessible: the Mažvydas sculptural park invites you to leisurely walks among the works of modern artists, the ethnographic fishing estate as part of the Maritime Museum tells about the life of coastal communities, and the Old Town on the left bank of the Dane River keeps the outlines of past centuries with architecture, narrow streets and monuments. The port of Klaipeda is an important historical and economic point, the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern coast of the Baltic, and the Shvituris brewery reminds of the centuries-old crafts and industrial tradition of the city.
Natural attractions complement the urban palette: the Dane River divides the city into parts and forms picturesque promenades for walks, and in the vicinity there is the famous Curonian Spit with its sand dunes, wide beaches, protected forests and quiet bays. The coast and coastal landscapes offer opportunities for hiking, bird watching and outdoor cycling, combining sea panoramas with secluded nature.
