If you are planning a trip to Lithuania, it is necessary to visit Klaipeda. This is the third largest Lithuanian city, and not just a city, and the port, and even a city with a long history and a huge number of iconic attractions. Here are very beautiful sea landscapes, however, for swimming, it happens somewhat cold. You can come here for recreation, but recreation active, for hiking.
Sometime, for a long time, Klaipeda was the German city of Memel and the echoes of that German past, in the architectural features of the old Klaipeda. Walk through the old streets that are formed like a labyrinth, and looking at the small houses built in the style of Fahwek, can take a lot of time. Here quietly, calm, so for a resident of a large megalpolis is very pleasant to spend time in such an atmosphere of full relax and peace.
In Klaipeda, a huge port that takes small ships, as well as gigantic liner sizes. There is also a shipbuilding plant that, however, does not have the revolutions that took place in the Soviet period.
In general, the city is absolutely European, modern. New buildings were erected. For, so to speak, the cultural enrichment is where to go and what to see. Especially interesting are the expositions of the museums of a blacksmith and the museum of hours. The latter contains an excellent collection of different types of hours for different time intervals. Here you can see quartz, mechanical, sand, water, electronic clock. Through these exhibits, the whole story of the formation of watchmaking is shown.
There is an interesting park in the city, which is a favorite holiday destination citizens. It is located on the territory of an old cemetery. The burial here was dated 19th century, but was buried until the middle of the 20th century. Already in the late 1970s, the authorities decided to build a park here. It is called a park of sculptures, because it collected truly masterpieces of Lithuanian sculptors. Here are the figures of children, women, men, but very stylized, sometimes incomprehensible, frightened, I would say. There are separate statues, and there are whole compositions, for example, "hugs", "family", "wings" and others. Full Creative.
For a long time, the park was not popular because it occupies the territory of the former cemetery, at which Russian soldiers were buried, and later Lutheran and Catholics were pleased that the monument was preserved in the park in honor of the fallen Russian soldiers. On both sides of the main monument, the names of the dead were carved from the main monument, and on May 9, the eternal flames are lit.
Today, no resident of Klaipeda can imagine the Vic End outside the sculpture park. So he loved and became, in fact, the calling card of the city. Here are excellent deciduous trees, clean air. Therefore, a large number of citizens flock here.
Arriving in Klaipeda, you will not have any living problems. Here is the choice of hotels for every taste and wallet. There are small hotels, they are cheaper, there are very expensive. One of these hotel Klaipeda. This is a multi-storey building, actually skyscraper. The building is made in the form of two letters "K" and "D".
It has bars, restaurants, gym, beauty salon, flower shop, conference room and much more.
If you want to eat deliciously, you can also find many places, but the most noteworthy is the restaurant located in the Meridianas sailboat, which is on the right side of the Dana River. Sailboat is a symbol of the city. It was almost allowed by time, but one of the entrepreneurs Klaipeda bought him and reconstructed. Now here is a restaurant. Very romantic place, as well as here is a great kitchen.
Many more remarkable places in the city. There is also an excellent shopping. The largest shopping center "Acropolis" offers a large selection of all kinds of goods, including machinery, clothing, shoes, cosmetics, jewelry, jewelry and others. Here is also a cinema, many playgrounds. In fact, this is not just a shopping center, and also entertainment center.
There are in Klaipeda and its landline dolphinarium. If you are traveling with children, it will certainly be worth giveing a holiday to your Chadam.
I really liked the city. It is a special flavor, its unique atmosphere.
You will travel here, do not forget for the promenade near the sea to grab an unexpressed jacket or any warm clothes. It will not be too much. There are in the city and strong winds, rain. Although it all depends on the time of year.
