Klaipėda, Lithuania

  • Sailboat docked near waterfront buildings

Lithuania’s third-largest city is a historic port on the Curonian coast. Part of the Prussian Kingdom until 1923, when it won its autonomy, Klaipėda is divided by the Danė River, which flows through the city into the Baltic Sea. Along its left bank, the historic old town features cobblestone streets with historic German-style half-timbered houses, street art and a tree-lined promenade filled with cafés. The new town stretches along the Danė’s right bank, past industrial sites and shipyards, amid venues that showcase the city’s art and cultural heritage.
