Your Essential Travel Guide To Klaipeda
Discover Things To Do In Klaipeda
The city on the Baltic Sea can look back over a diverse history - founded in 1252, Klaipeda became the third largest city in Lithuania with about 156,700 inhabitants. Once part of Germany and many still known as Memel, you can still find architectural influences from this time in the city. In addition, Klaipeda is an important transport connection between East and West and has one of the most important ports on the East Coast, as the harbor remains mostly ice-free even in winter. More than 7,000 ships from 45 countries arrive in Klaipeda every year and around 20 million tons of cargo are loaded.
Klaipeda's highlights
Start your tour on the Theatre Square right in the heart of the old town, where the famous monument of the poet Simon roof "Ännchen von Tharau" as well as the city theatre can be found. There are numerous small sculptures scattered across the city: a park bench with chess board game, the golden miracle mouse and the black ghost are just a few examples. Especially recommended is a visit to the Sculpture Park and the Museum Memelburg. Along the river Dane there is the promenade with small cafes and traditional restaurants. The historic sailing ship and famous landmark of the city, "Meridianas", anchors here and shapes the cityscape.
