Klaipėda, Port city in Western Lithuania
Located on the Baltic Sea coast, Klaipėda features a mix of German-influenced architecture with narrow streets and wooden frame buildings in the Old Town district.
Founded in 1252 by the Teutonic Knights as Memelburg, the city served as a strategic trade point and underwent multiple territorial changes between German and Lithuanian control.
The Teatro Square represents the city center with the Anne of Tharau statue, while the annual Sea Festival brings concerts and maritime celebrations throughout summer.
The city maintains regular ferry connections to Sweden and Germany, while the Palanga International Airport provides air travel options within 30 minutes by car.
Klaipėda operates the northernmost ice-free port on the eastern Baltic Sea coast, managing over 36 million tons of cargo annually through its maritime facilities.
