This is a hill where a tributary of the Dane River flows. The writer describes it as a place of relaxation for Klaipeda residents.

The exhibits at the castle site cover the history of Klaipeda, while the 39/45 Museum has exhibits about World War II.
Reviews say the castle complex is under restoration and the Red Castle building was not open to visitors, so check whether it is open before setting out if you plan to see the interior.

This garden exhibits collections of conifers, deciduous trees, ornamental herbaceous plants, and medicinal plants.

This church was built during the Soviet era and has a 46.5 m-tall tower.

The statue beside the fountain in front of Theatre Square depicts Ännchen von Tharau, a character in a work by Simon Dach.

This is a sculpture encountered on a walk along the harbor.

The Amber Museum is in Tyszkiewicz Palace in Birutė Park. The museum exhibits amber jewelry, fossils, and more.
Reviews say the Amber Museum may close on event days or be closed even when shown as open, so check whether it is open that day before traveling to Palanga.

This is a signature landmark of Palanga, extending more than 500 m into the Baltic Sea and one of the area's longest piers. It is a good place to take photos, enjoy views of the Baltic coast, and relax.

This is a Neo-Gothic church in Palanga. Its tower has an observation deck overlooking the town.

This building was Palanga's first hotel. Rebuilt after a fire, it is now used as a cultural and youth center.

This is a white-sand beach in Palanga. The source notes that the area near the pier can be crowded.

The old village area has colorful fishermen's houses and a walking path along the Curonian Lagoon.

Wooden sculptures depicting witches stand among forest-covered dunes outside Juodkrantė.
The walking path has steep sections, exposed tree roots, and stairs; wheelchair access is difficult and strollers may also be inconvenient, so consider your mobility options before visiting.

Thomas Mann's former summer house is used as a cultural center and museum.

From the top of the dune, visitors can see both the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. There is a sundial at the summit.

Visitors can see sand dunes known as the Grey Dunes or Dead Dunes from the walking trail.
