Sightseeing in Klaipeda - what to see. Complete travel guide

Klaipeda, Lithuania, Curonian Spit, Bundled Straw Arch Sculpture Klaipeda is a cozy port town that is known as a wonderful place of rest for wild nature connoisseurs and all tourists who like exciting excursions and various entertainments.

We suggest starting your observation of the city by visiting the Old City of Klaipeda. Here you will find old houses decorated with brushwood of northern grape. Numerous architectural facilities will remind you of pictures from fairytales, because tiny houses with tiled roofs surrounded by bright flower beds look very unusual for a modern tourist. The streets of the Old City are twisting and it’s easy to get lost here, so it’s better to make your first walk in Klaipeda together with a guide. Here you will see Simon Dach Fountain and another permanent symbol of the city – Anika from Torava sculpture. Anika is a character of the old Lithuanian song.

Besides walking on magnificent streets of the city we recommend visiting Museum of Clocks. Here you will see collections of various items that have been used by our predecessors to measure time.

Blacksmithing Museum is one more famous cultural facility of the city. Here you will be able to see the collections of massive fences and church crosses, as well as miniature candlesticks and jewelry.
Park of Sculptures is a great place to walk on fresh air and observe multiple monuments, and Marine Museum is a wonderful place to finish your acquaintance with Klaipeda.

The iconic historical symbol of the city is Klaipeda Castle. It was built by Teutonic Knights. For many years, the castle was in desolation. In the middle of the 20th century, it was located on the territory of a large industrial zone and was not accessible. In 1968, the restoration of the castle began, and continues today. Archaeological excavations are still conducted on its territory. In 2002 an interesting museum was opened in the castle walls, where you can see not only the discoveries of archaeologists, but also very beautiful models of famous sights.
Fans of hiking will be interested in walking through the port area, where the old lighthouse can be seen and visited. It was built in 1796, and was badly damaged during the Second World War. The lighthouse managed to be restored in the shortest possible time, and it continues to function even now. The height of the lighthouse is 44.5 meters. On certain days, tourists are allowed to climb to its peak and view the neighborhood from a bird's eye view.
The highlight of the cultural life of the city is the Marine Day celebrated every year during the latter half of May. In Klaipeda it is celebrated for more than fifty years; every year its … Open
Among the little-known tourist sites, the Museum of Lithuania Minor is worth attention. Its opening took place in 1912. Before, the museum was located in the same building with the library. Originally, the exposition of the museum was made up of archaeological artifacts. A very interesting collection of old coins can be seen in it today. Over the years, the museum's collection expanded. In 1924, it was moved to a separate building. During the war the museum was closed and after its completion, it began to receive visitors only in 1949. Now the museum presents an extensive collection of historical exhibits dedicated to the ancient history of Lithuania, cartography, numismatics and folk art.
Art lovers will like the art gallery, named after the famous Lithuanian artist Pranas Domšaitis. The opening of this museum took place in 1973. It contains the world's largest collection of paintings by the expressionist artist, which has about 600 works. The museum often holds exhibitions of contemporary art. The sculptures and paintings of Lithuanian artists can be admired here. Not so long ago a new cultural center was built on the territory of the museum, which is used not only for exhibitions but also for musical concerts.
