Why Klaipėda Old Town matters
The old town of Klaipėda is small but charming, with half-timbered houses that remind you this was long a German-influenced port. Cobbled lanes lead to a theatre square with a well-known statue of a young woman, Ännchen von Tharau, and the nearby river is lined with old warehouses turned into cafés. Spend an afternoon here before catching the ferry across the lagoon.
Talking points
- Half-timbered houses reflect the city's long German-influenced past.
