  • Evangelical-Lutheran Church
    Check around for a schedule of summer concerts in this church if you are staying in Nida for more than a couple of days. Some local history interest inside the church, but of much greater interest value is the cemetery next to the church and those [...]
  • Miško Namas
    Prices are fair for the area, we stayed there few days and we were very impressed with the services.I would recommend this b&b to anyone that wants to visit Nida.[...]

Nida In Your Pocket

The principal settlement on the Lithuanian half of the Unesco-protected Curonian Spit, the small fishing village of Nida (or Nidden as it was and still is known as to German speakers) some 50km south of Klaipėda on the edge of Curonian Lagoon is worthy of at least a day trip if not considerably more. The celebrated home for two summers of the author Thomas Mann, Nida’s affluent feel and Germanic appearance are so unlike the rest of Lithuania that visiting as part of a bigger trip to the country is like a holiday within a holiday. With well under 2,000 permanent residents, the population balloons during the short tourist season, but, unlike its irksome brother Palanga attracts a quieter crowd attracted by a more leisurely pace of life. The perfect springboard for countless adventures further afield on the spit, Nida offers a superb value experience and is an essential part of any trip along the Baltic coastline.
