Short description of Klaipėda
Klaipėda is the only seaport in Lithuania and was Memel under Prussian and German rule until 1923, which shows in the half timbered warehouses of the old town and a street plan that belongs to a north German trading city rather than a Lithuanian one. Ferries to the Curonian Spit leave from the middle of town and cross in five minutes. The Sea Museum and dolphinarium occupy a nineteenth century fort on the spit side. In summer the Sea Festival fills the quays for three days.
