The Pristine Nature

Take a drive through the Curonian Spit and enjoy uninterrupted views of sand-dunes and pine forests. The Spit is also home to the highest moving (drifting) sand dunes in Europe.

Exploring Beyond Klaipėda

If you wish to explore beyond Klaipėda, you can easily take a ferry to the Curonian Peninsula or drive to the many nearby exciting cities like Palanga and Šiauliai.

Money Matters

Note that Lithuania uses the Euro, not the Sterling Pound. However, credit and debit cards are widely accepted.

Climate Considerations

The Lithuanian climate is a bit of a mix between maritime and continental. So, while summer can be pleasantly warm, it’s always a good idea to carry an umbrella, just in case.
