Pilies tiltas

Pilies tiltas is a pedestrian bridge made of metal and concrete that crosses the Dane River and connects two districts of Klaipėda. The structure features modern engineering and includes lighting throughout its length.

The location where the bridge stands was an important crossing point in the 13th century when Klaipėda developed as a trading center. The modern structure replaces historic river crossings that served the same purpose for centuries.

The bridge serves as a regular crossing point where locals and visitors move between the historic districts on either side. It reflects how the city connects its different parts and allows people to experience the relationship between the old town and the modern center.

Access is free and available at all times, with lighting installed throughout for safe crossing during evening hours. The walkway is level and straightforward, making it comfortable for most visitors to use.

From the bridge, you can watch ships passing on their way to the Baltic Sea port docks. This view of maritime traffic gives visitors a sense of Klaipėda's importance as a port city.
