The year 2012 sees Klaipėda celebrate its 760th birthday, a historical event of major importance eclipsed only by the fact that the very same year marks the publication of the 20th issue of the print version of
Klaipėda In Your Pocket. A 3km-wide urban sprawl hugging the Curonian Lagoon for 20km or so, Lithuania's third city would be hard to defend as a destination worthy of an extended stay, although it certainly offers enough things to keep visitors busy for a few days whilst simultaneously acting as the perfect jumping-off point for the two contrastingly different resorts of
Nida and
Palanga. Yes indeed, it's all here and more, including information on the best places to get drunk, where to receive a haircut, how to use the local buses and even where you need to go if your laptop goes wrong. Have a super time and see you all again next year.
Klaipėda In Your Pocket welcomes all comments, suggestions, custard pies and knives in the back as always. Email us by clicking
