Question 3

Is Klaipeda walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Klaipeda’s Old Town is flat and very walkable, so you can see Theatre Square, the Meridianas ship, and the Castle Museum on foot. The foot-passenger ferry at the Old Ferry Terminal takes you to Smiltynė for the Curonian Spit.

City buses such as 8 to Melnragė and 6 to Giruliai reach the beaches, and ferries run from Smiltynės perkėla (Old and New terminals). For longer outings along the Spit or up to Palanga, consider a private tour in Klaipeda with private transportation.
