Upon arrival, you’ll step into one of Lithuania’s most beautiful and renowned parks.

The park is a true oasis, offering a peaceful escape and a feast for the senses.

After exploring the beautiful Palangos Miesto Botanikos Parkas—with its tranquil gardens, scenic walking paths, and the impressive Amber Museum—you’ll continue your journey just a short walk or drive to the iconic Palanga Pier.

The Palanga Pier is one of the city’s most beloved attractions. Stretching out into the Baltic Sea, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and is the perfect spot for photos, a relaxing stroll, or simply enjoying the fresh sea breeze. Visitors love the lively atmosphere, especially at sunset when the sky turns vibrant colors over the water. Along the way, you can also enjoy the bustling Basanavičiaus Street, filled with cafés, street performers, and local shops, making the route from the park to the pier both scenic and entertaining.

This combination of peaceful nature and lively seaside charm ensures you’ll experience the very best of Palanga in one memorable visit.

After your visit to Palanga Pier, you’ll return to Klaipėda to explore the historic Klaipėda Castle and Museum. Built by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century, the castle was a key fortress for coastal defense and trade. Over the years, it was rebuilt with strong bastion walls and underground tunnels.

The square is surrounded by impressive architecture, lively cafés, and local shops, making it a favorite gathering spot for both locals and visitors.

Highlights include striking sculptures, fountains, and frequent public events or art installations that give the square a lively, welcoming feel.
