Klaipeda Old Town Walking Tour
Lithuania with its unique history, language, and culture, is the biggest of the three Baltic States situated between neighboring Latvia, Belarus, Russia, and Poland. Historically, this has proven to be a hazardous location and Klaipėda offers an intriguing insight into the complex history of the region and its inhabitants.
Your tour includes contemporary as well as historic sites, tales and insights from a local guide. Today Klaipėda is a tranquil coastal city but a sample of the forces that have affected the region, including a fascinating pagan past with frequent migrations, Lithuania's status as a once European superpower, the Lithuanian Grand Duchy, important trade routes, the Teutonic Knights, Soviet occupation and the German and Prussian expansions.

We will get to know the Old Town Klaipeda, the street layout, its architecture, and history. You will have a chance to experience the sculptures that have been renowned old town attractions over many years: The Cat with the Face of a Gentleman, the Mysterious Mouse, the Rooftop Chimney Sweeper, and your guide will share other interesting old town tales. You will also learn about the city's old fortification and defensive system, and see the only existing ravelin in Klaipeda. At the conclusion of the tour, the guide will show you the best places to sample some traditional Lithuanian dishes on your own. |
