Klaipėda is the third largest city in Lithuania and at the same time the country’s most important port. The city is located on the Baltic Sea coast at the point where the Curonian Lagoon empties into the sea. Klaipėda is an old city whose history dates to the Teutonic Order’s construction of the castle Memelsburg in the middle of the 13th century. Hence the name Memel, which Klaipėda was called until 1923.
Through centuries of German rule, Klaipėda developed with e.g. extensive fortifications, parts of which can still be seen like the Neringa Fort, which was constructed in the 19th century. Today, Neringa Fort houses the city’s exciting maritime museum and aquarium. The fort is located on the northern tip of the Curonian Spit, and the popular site also offers a dolphinarium, which has been a popular attraction since Soviet times.
Klaipėda’s old town is a pleasant place for a stroll, and attractions are not far away from each other. The neighborhood is characterized by the many buildings in not least German style, but also Scandinavian-inspired architecture. For example, you can see half-timbered buildings here, and the city plan itself with the right-angled streets in the center also differs significantly from other cities in Lithuania.
The preserved remains of the historic Memelsburg are one of the main attractions of Klaipėda. The castle is located outside the city center and behind large bastions. On the opposite side of the center are other parts of the old fortifications, and between them you can e.g. see the city’s drama theater and visit the historical museum. South of the center are interesting modern churches, some of which were built during the Soviet Union.
