Palanga and Klaipeda When visiting the west coast of the Baltic sea you cannot miss Palanga and Klaipeda – Lithuania’s most charming coastal cities, each with its own personality. Here you can take endless walks on sandy dunes and pick small pieces of amber as you go, watch the sun set over the Palanga pier, wander the narrows streets close to the harbor in Klaipeda, and make a day trip to the narrow Curonian spit, a UNESCO protected paradise offering miles of forest, dunes, beaches and quaint fishing villages.
