24 Hours in Klaipeda | Lithuania's 3rd Largest City!

After getting off the train in Klaipeda earlier in the day, I had all afternoon and evening to explore Klaipeda and learn more about its history here in Lithuania. I wandered around Klaipeda old town, explored the Klaipeda port, and then headed to the beach in Klaipeda to watch the sunset!

What do you think of Klaipeda? Would you like to visit?

[@tomasitas4015]

Definitely!

[@tomasitas4015]

I prefer Nida because it’s a place for people who wants to relax more from cities.

[@impious4228]

i live here

[@MrDickharder]

I lefft my heart over there.

[@jameslyons1624]

You bet

[@Bad_Artist_]

Klaipeda -- Clean, friendly, and inviting as any Lithuanian city, with the added bonus of old German architecture and the Baltic Sea! What's not to love?

[@laura-bronner]

Couldn’t agree more, it’s stunning!

[@tomasitas4015]

Nida is my favorite spot in Lithuania 😍

[@laura-bronner]

I can understand why, it's a pretty special place!

[@ugneliufitness]

Yes so pretty there ! 😍

[@bazaarx8582]

You should visit some large graveyard on november 1st, it's all saints day in the catholic faith, and everyone visits their dead relatives and lights candles, it's a very breathtaking sight when it gets dark.

[@artursupelnieks9447]

Baltic sea is not always cold, water temperature can vary greatly depending from the wind direction . Usually if wind direction is from the coast , in Lithuania it would be eastern, then water is cold. For example, if there is south-east wind direction, in Riga Bay water temperature in Jurmala can be 12° Celsius, but only 30 km away Mersrags water temperature can be +25° Celsius. That is called "aqualing " when wind blow's away warm water and colder water from the deeper layers comes to a shore. So in Latvia you can choose the beach depending from the wind direction!

[@laura-bronner]

That's so interesting, I had no idea if could get that warm! Thanks for sharing this information :)

[@artursupelnieks9447]

You are very welcome! In fact , last summer, water temperature in some parts of Balic Sea reached +28°Celsius, that is comparable with Mediterranean Sea.

[@blueeyedbaer]

@@artursupelnieks9447 Mediterranian sea can be cold too. I was at Malaga this August, the sea was super cold on some days, it was even colder than the Baltic sea usually is.

[@blueeyedbaer]

I lived in Klaipėda for three years. It definitely has a different feeling than the rest of the country.

[@zeusv9804]

Are the women as beautiful as they say? I wouldn't mind a wife from there hehe

[@yassineahbane]

It's an interesting city. Looking forward to Seattle there 🔥🖤

[@Asgoga]

I live in nearby town of Šilutė or Heydekrug. It's very cute town that has beautiful Prussian/German architecture, very green beautiful park, cool museum with a park which is called Hugo Šojaus muziejus/Hugo Scheu museum, it tells history of Šilutė and Klaipėda/Memel region as a whole. So if you can please visit us :)

[@laura-bronner]

I just googled it, it looks beautiful! I will definitely be back to this region of Lithuania again soon, I will be sure to add Šilutė to my list!

[@abouthammertime]

This is my nearest town as well and I second that vote, well worth a visit 👍🏻

[@gandrasgandrauskas5331]

@@laura-bronner Check Lutheran church in the middle of the town, altar is surrounded by fresco- people important for different reasons. Look for sidewalk secret see through plates- secrets.

[@PinkCat1361]

You can visit the amber museum in Palanga! It's so beautiful and interesting. Palanga is a very nice place.

[@Tm_Martishius]

Love the production of your videos, truly beautiful to see my country be portrayed this way

[@laura-bronner]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoy them :)

[@nolitimere11]

As Lithuanian I have to thank you for those videos as they are very informative! Taking a train Vilnius- Klaipeda today for the first time and I am very excited 🐱🐱

[@laura-bronner]

So glad you found it helpful! Enjoy your trip!!

[@mgb0869]

This is NOT the Lithuania I had pictured when reading the novel “The Corrections!” Beautiful country, great book, excellent VLOG. Thank you for this. Love from Ottawa 🇨🇦

[@Brazauskas123]

Lithuania changed drastically since this book came out. :)

[@mgb0869]

Absolutely Julius! I just finished the book yesterday and began watching Laura’s Lithuania series today so it was a pleasant (and beautiful) surprise to see the non-fiction version! Can’t wait to see what is next from Laura. Take care care and be well!

[@laura-bronner]

Thanks, Matt! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@tytllee]

At no point in time did that book describe Lithuania realistically :) Author has never vistited the country himself.

[@mgb0869]

@@tytllee I am aware that the images of Lithuania in the book were fictional, as the book was!

[@exlibrisas]

I hate large cities. Klaipėda is largest city I'd still consider living. Not too small, not too large. Not too shabby, but not too fancy. Not a province, but not a metropolis either. So I do live here. I love the easy navigation, simplicity and cozy port vibes in the old city. Love walks in a former cemetery park near my place. Love orange street lights, reflecting on stony pavements during rainy evenings.

[@mcminda]

thanks for coming here :)

[@dalamoretx]

AH-Maaaazing! Wow! I'm lovin' all of this journey! So interesting! Thank you!

[@sigis2271]

Excellent trip to Klaipeda 👌

[@laura-bronner]

Thanks!

[@madzen112]

Looks like an interesting place

[@alexwallace6120]

You make such beautiful videos of the towns,.cities,country side and oceans! I also appreciate how they are usually under 15 minutes.

[@laura-bronner]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoy them!

[@ugneliufitness]

I love your videos. I am from Lithuania but I haven't lived there for over a decade now and your videos makes me feel like home ♥️ thank you for your videos ! ♥️♥️♥️

[@gretux946]

I was so happy you tried Kavos architektai! It's my favorite place to go when I come home, and I miss that delicious coffee dearly. And I'm happy you liked Klaipėda, but Nida is for sure my favorite city in Lithuania :)

[@laura-bronner]

I understand why, Nida is seriously beautiful! but that coffee at Kavos architektai was SO good!!

[@edwint1780]

Nida is overrated imho when compared to Palanga. Palanga is where it's at for me. Nida is for old people who want to just spend the whole day reading a book, Palanga is a lot more vibrant. Also the park in Palanga is one of my most favorite places in Lithuania.

[@TiHerr74]

Thanks Laura. I’m going to watch this a second time with Collective Soul’s Perfect Day playing in the background.

[@lelaj4607]

I am from Indonesia and I was joining Lithuanian summer course in 2019. The first time I arrived there, I was like ‘the weather is this cold?’ Since I was thinking that the weather was hot in summer, and I catch a cold in my first week there haha. Lithuania is surely a beautiful country and Nida is my most favourite ❤️. Thank you for the video, I love it a lot.

[@joecapesius2887]

Very cool. Probably not going to use that swimsuit until next year. Although Lithuania may be big on saunas….

[@MinMin-kv3rv]

just go to Druskininkai: spas, aquapark, more multicultural saunas than you can handle :) ect. or Vilnius vichy park, Birštonas. use swimsuit all year round :)

[@sawas1111]

Hi you should go to the dutch hat in Klaipeda there you will find a tin from which you can see the beautiful landscape of the whole sea

[@andrius505]

Welcome to Klaipeda, the best city in Lithuania!!! :)

[@laura-bronner]

Thanks! It's very beautiful here :)

[@elkatronas]

I live in Klaipėda :)

[@kestutisvilkas6688]

Very good lithuanian prononsation! I am surprised.

[@rita3206]

😍👍

[@OGGOAT23]

I'm from this city..it used to be a vibrant place..now everybody's abroad it's pretty empty/boring..but the city itself is beautiful and ofcourse the curonian spit

[@Kund1s]

You missed klaipeda best place it's not where bus route 6 took you... You had to take a cab and go to olando kepure, there is nice sunshine's and some cliffs to see it :)

[@laura-bronner]

Wow that looks beautiful! I'll have to go there next time I visit Klaipeda :)

[@iamsultana]

@@laura-bronner There are several places in the seaside that you simply must visit on a sunny spring day: the before mentioned Olando kepurė (then take a walk on Kukuliškių piliakalnis next to Olando kepurė), Karklė (very close to Olando kepurė as well, this place has a long history and is very preserved), Ventės ragas (an hour long drive from Klaipėda), the Sea Museum and the goooooorgeous wide beach behind it... In the evening have dinner in the terrace of Meat Lovers overlooking the Curonian Lagoon or in a very cozy restaurant Baltas Ruonis in front of the Balfic Sea. In the morning you must come to Ateik Ateik for breakfast!
