Discover Palangos Miesto Botanikos Parkas
Upon arrival, you’ll step into one of Lithuania’s most beautiful and renowned parks. Palangos Miesto Botanikos Parkas is a lush, expansive garden designed in the 19th century by the famous French landscape architect Édouard André. 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.

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.
Today, the museum is set within these tunnels and restored castle sections. Inside, you’ll find interactive exhibits and archaeological treasures that bring Klaipėda’s medieval history to life, from stories of knights to daily life in the old port. The engaging displays make it interesting for all ages.
A highlight is the view from the ramparts, where the Danė River meets the Curonian Lagoon—a reminder of the city’s maritime heritage. This visit offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, and scenic views, making it a memorable part of your Klaipėda adventure.
Next, you’ll visit Atgimimo Square, one of Klaipėda’s most vibrant and symbolic public spaces. Located in the heart of the city, Atgimimo Square is known for its modern design, open atmosphere, and cultural significance—it was named to honor Lithuania’s independence movement. 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. It’s the perfect place to experience Klaipėda’s contemporary spirit, relax on a bench, or simply watch daily life unfold. From here, you’re also within easy walking distance of other city attractions, making it an ideal stop to soak in the local culture and energy during your visit.
After your visit to Atgimimo Square, we’ll ensure a smooth and timely return to your cruise ship. Our drop-off is carefully scheduled to get you back to the Klaipėda Cruise Terminal well before your ship’s departure, giving you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the port area without any rush.
We closely monitor the cruise schedule and local traffic to guarantee a stress-free experience. Our team will assist you every step of the way, making sure you arrive back at the terminal with enough time to unwind, shop for souvenirs, or simply take in the final views of Klaipėda before boarding.
