EXPLORING KLAIPEDA, LITHUANIA | Beautiful City on the Baltic Sea!

Autumn has fallen in the Baltics, and this week we found ourselves in the port city of Klaipeda. Klaipeda is right on the Baltic Sea, and we immediately fell in love with the charming seaside vibes of this beautiful city.
Even though the weather was quite rainy and cold, we had a wonderful time exploring. In this video, we visit Old Town, stroll along the River Promenade, visit the Old Bazaar, eat at a local restaurant, and grab a drink at a really cool bar.

@@Socialhustle. this is the name used by occupants

[@songrada1]

@@Socialhustle.do you mean occupants who occupied Curonian land called Klaipeda and tried to rename it to memel? The same ones who occupied Old prussian lands? their main city called Tvenkste? Who exterminated them and renamed it to Konigsberg which was later accupied by another occupants who renaimed it again to kaliningrad.

Sorry for the mistakes, I use google translator 😁 I don't know English well. I want to say one historical fact. You filmed a balcony when you were at Theaters Squere. Hitler spoke from that balcony, there are photos on the Internet. ☺️ Not everyone knows that.

[@NRJLT]

this is the video of old Klaipeda, ant the balcony that was mentioned kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6S1Y4uCqtuWqNE

[@imo124]

Valerija I knew that to . I lived in klaipeda for 3 years with my beautiful Lithuanian girlfriend . Unfortunately we are no longer together

[@DomantasTam]

The statue of the girl Anike in the fountain have a story. She was the only one who turned her back to Hitler during his speech on the balcony. After that incident she was gone.

[@musicfanatic2009]

Interesting love hearing these facts. Hope to visit the city soon with my lithuanian friend.

[@matushka__]

So the black ghost. Ill tell you the story behind it. So there is a story that in the 16th - 17th century there was a guard on duty in the castle (Now a cool museum) And some unknown person all in black that you couldn't even see his face got out of the water and asked the guard how he was doing and if they had food and how overall the military was doing. The guard responded by telling the person in black that it was all fine , they had food etc. Then the mysterious person said "Its not gonna be long that way" And went back into the water and disappeared.

[@JackandGabExplore]

Ooooh that's a creepy story!

[@vestavaitkute8506]

Hey, im lithuanian and Klaipėda is my city. Im very glad you liked this city, its weird to see a lot of tourists there cause to me Klaipeda seems simple and not as impressive as other cities. But Klaipeda is one of those places that is very calm and chill. Klaipedians can be tough people because we always have to stay grounded while the wind is strong.

[@raypich8292]

It is another beautiful autumn day in Klaipeda! The city is small, beautiful and it is rich in historical architectural elements. You sounded like professional journalists. We went to Finland and Latvia and we loved smoked Baltic sprats . Awesome!

Lived in Klaipėda for 3 years. The best thing was that during summer after work you can just hop on your car or bike, go to the beach and still get 3-4 hours of warmth and sunshine. The two worst things are that there still are low level criminal people there and that local Russians who account for some 30% of population in Klaipėda still don't speak Lithuanian (they understand and can speak but they simply refuse).

[@bassmakarov275]

blueeyedbaer i live in Klaipeda for 35 years and not meet any local Russian which refusecto speake Lithuanian. Maybe you meet some Ukrainian migrants which arrive easterday?

[@liminalspace1382]

[@MrWabakee]

blueeeyedbaer you are right! I have similar neighbors. They only can say "Labas" and that's all. :( Bass Makarov really? 35 yrs and didn't see anything like this? You are lucky.

[@blueeyedbaer]

@@liminalspace1382 I don't care about your thumbs down. I have no hate towards Russians as I have many great Russian friends who either live in Russia itself or speak Lithuanian in Lithuania (mostly in Kaunas and Vilnius). I state the fact that a lot of Russian people in Klaipėda refuse to speak Lithuanian even if they understand it. Lithuanian is an official language in the EU, so it's used widely because EU laws state that all the official documents must be translated into all official languages of the EU.

[@smiltemickeviciute6739]

You must visit Nida, Lithuania

[@zhannad750]

A place where we take our out-of-country guests to is the Cold War Museum. About 40 minutes from Klaipeda by car, it is situated on a former Soviet rocket base, where they had nuclear rockets, but never fired. It's about an hour long tour which we discovered is quite interesting for USSR outsiders, during season they do it in English as well, and English groups are very small, so likely you'd be having a personal guide :D Admission is 7 euros, the only issue is getting there if you don't have a car or friends with one here.

Actually, Klaipeda was part of the German empire until 1923 when Lithuania forcefully took it and Germany after the lost ww1 was too weak to take it back until 1939 but then after ww2 it was given to Lithuania because Germany lost all its territories east of Oder river

[@rimanjonasro7698]

The Klaipeda is and allways was Lithuania. The name Klaipeda is older than city that once has name Memel, which was under Eastern Prussia rule. Memel=Klaipeda. Prussia was originaly lithuanian tribe, which turned german after german rulling class and huge influx of saxonians.

[@JackandGabExplore]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing :)

[@kolobokkolobol8774]

Riman Jonas Ro Prussians were Baltic tribe, not lithuanian. Also prussian was the 3rd baltic language along with latvian and lithuanian

[@raceris7309]

The name "Memel" was given around the time when the city was first established by Teutons (1252). It's also of Baltic origin, much like "Klaipeda". In fact, it was first mentioned in the early XIV century in a treaty with Teutonic Order.

[@vidmantasb5993]
