Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Place du Théâtre
The Place du Théâtre concentrates Memel's old memory with its wise facades, its neoclassical theatre and the statue of d-Ännchen von Tharau. It's a good point to feel Klaipėda Hanseatic port side, before reaching the half-timbered streets, the Danė or the neighbouring docks.
Museum
maritime lituanien Museum
The Musée maritime lituanien It is located in an ancient fortress in Smiltynė, between pines, dunes and access to the sea. Aquarium, Baltic fauna and history of navigation take on a very concrete dimension, as the ferry journey and then the walk already recall the relationship of Klaipėda Water.
Place indismissible
Meridianas
Amarred on the Danė, the Meridianas transforms a former school sailboat into a familiar landmark of the centre of Klaipėda. Its white hull, docks and neighbouring bridges tell the port city on a pedestrian scale, where the river gradually joins the harbour basins.
