Klaipeda City Tour

The city tour is focused on the Old Town of Klaipėda with its Theatre Square dominated by statue of Ann from Tharau, narrow alleyways with attractive courtyards, art galleries, cafes and small boutiques, blocks of lattice-work buildings, and old warehouse reflecting the influence of Germanic architecture of the Hanseatic period.
Klaipeda is located 315 kilometers from the capital and is the main gateway to the Curonian Spit well as the country's third largest city. From the port we will drive to the city center, a small and simple port city with buildings from the eighteenth century, we pass the Clock Museum, the post office neo-Gothic, Plaza Theatre, where the source is located and sculpture "Taravos Anike" and the University of Klaipeda (former headquarters building). We will continue our visit to the south of the city to see some of the typical residential areas built in Soviet times, during the Khrushchev era, where we can meet their architecture and way of life. Among the many buildings will discover numerous craft workshops in amber is one of the "national wealth". We may know the process of cutting, grinding and cooking of natural amber to become delicate jewelry, a craft known in the area for thousands of years. The Baltic region is home to the largest known deposit of this mineral, called Baltic amber, which concentrates about 80% of the world amber known. Its origin dates from between 35 and 40 million years ago, is one of the oldest and most appreciated in the world. We can buy a nice souvenir, tea or just stroll through the streets, remembering his Germanic past as former capital of Prussia. Back to port for shipment.
