Why Klaipėda matters

Klaipėda is Lithuania's gateway to the sea. It is a port with a long German-influenced history, which you can still see in the half-timbered buildings in the old town. A short ferry across the lagoon takes you to the Curonian Spit, a major draw of the coast. Spend an afternoon here before heading to the dunes.

Talking points

  • The old town's half-timbered buildings reflect centuries of German influence.
  • Ferries leave from here to the Curonian Spit.
