Originally built over 100 years ago for unloading ocean-going tourists in Palanga, at over 400m long, the simple L-shaped wooden pier (for despite the name ‘tis not a bridge) at the far western end of Basanavičiaus remains much as it was during its original incarnation. A simple structure on which to promenade and with no facilities whatsoever, walking up and down the pier is all part of the experience, faintly echoing the formal parades filled with sexual tension that take place daily throughout the Balkans. Be sure to visit at least once as the sun is setting as is the norm during the holiday season.
