EXPLORING KLAIPEDA, LITHUANIA | Beautiful City on the Baltic Sea!
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- Autumn has fallen in the Baltics, and this week we found ourselves in the port city of Klaipeda. Klaipeda is right on the Baltic Sea, and we immediately fell in love with the charming seaside vibes of this beautiful city.
Even though the weather was quite rainy and cold, we had a wonderful time exploring. In this video, we visit Old Town, stroll along the River Promenade, visit the Old Bazaar, eat at a local restaurant, and grab a drink at a really cool bar.

It's so strange to see my own city through eyes of tourists, good job guys, keep up the good work 😁
Thanks so much!
Literally the best pronunciation of the Lithuania city name I have ever heard from a foreigners 😂 Nice video btw! Wish you best of luck 🍀 Can’t wait for the next vid!
Yayyy we listened really carefully as they were announcing the Klaipeda stop on the train hahaha 😂 Our Curonian Spit video should be up sometime tomorrow!
Nice!
I visited Klaipeda 16 years ago as part of my school excursion 😂, need to return!
a Latvian girl 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇪🇪
In Senamiesčio baras you have to taste cheese fingers, it is so delicious! Best cheese fingers in Klaipėda! This restaurant is so famous for that 🙌
Agreed. Try the chicken ones too
Cheese fingers mmmmmm who likes that give a like :)
Agreed, they are the best
@@DARIUSJ98 (taip) yes
Agree i was eating them yesterday
Klaipeda.. my hometown ❤
Lovely country! 💙💙
So charming and pretty!! 😍
Thats the county I go to to meet my grandma
Hey! I'm from Lithuania! I live in Klaipeda
That's awesome! It's a really cool city
Hey, im lithuanian and Klaipėda is my city. Im very glad you liked this city, its weird to see a lot of tourists there cause to me Klaipeda seems simple and not as impressive as other cities. But Klaipeda is one of those places that is very calm and chill. Klaipedians can be tough people because we always have to stay grounded while the wind is strong.
Sorry for the mistakes, I use google translator 😁 I don't know English well. I want to say one historical fact. You filmed a balcony when you were at Theaters Squere. Hitler spoke from that balcony, there are photos on the Internet. ☺️ Not everyone knows that.
this is the video of old Klaipeda, ant the balcony that was mentioned
czcams.com/video/msR2XLuvcro/video.html
Valerija I knew that to . I lived in klaipeda for 3 years with my beautiful Lithuanian girlfriend . Unfortunately we are no longer together
The statue of the girl Anike in the fountain have a story. She was the only one who turned her back to Hitler during his speech on the balcony. After that incident she was gone.
Interesting love hearing these facts. Hope to visit the city soon with my lithuanian friend.
On March 24 1939 , Adolf Hitler arrived in Klaipeda, who delivered a short speech..
Thank you for your perfect "klaipeda" pronaunciation, most of the russians cant pronounce it correctly.
We listened very carefully on the train ride over when they announced the Klaipeda stop :) Hahaha
@@Socialhustle. this is the name used by occupants
@@Socialhustle.do you mean occupants who occupied Curonian land called Klaipeda and tried to rename it to memel? The same ones who occupied Old prussian lands? their main city called Tvenkste? Who exterminated them and renamed it to Konigsberg which was later accupied by another occupants who renaimed it again to kaliningrad.

Litteraly my favourite city, a lot of my relatives live here, I'm glad I'm coming here tomorow! 🥰 🇧🇴
Hey this is my home town !
Mano irgi :) / Kine too :)
Mine sorry for mistake
So the black ghost. Ill tell you the story behind it. So there is a story that in the 16th - 17th century there was a guard on duty in the castle (Now a cool museum) And some unknown person all in black that you couldn't even see his face got out of the water and asked the guard how he was doing and if they had food and how overall the military was doing. The guard responded by telling the person in black that it was all fine , they had food etc. Then the mysterious person said "Its not gonna be long that way" And went back into the water and disappeared.
Ooooh that's a creepy story!
It is another beautiful autumn day in Klaipeda! The city is small, beautiful and it is rich in historical architectural elements. You sounded like professional journalists. We went to Finland and Latvia and we loved smoked Baltic sprats . Awesome!
Agreed! Small but charming and soo beautiful. Really glad you enjoyed the video...we'll be in Finland in a few weeks!
lovely town
Love my city!
I am 66% Baltic, My father's family and family are from Klaipeda
That's amazing! My dad's side of the family is originally from Lithuania too, but we're not sure where. They left in the 1800's because of persecution -G
@@JackandGabExplore No wonder you guys enjoy so much of LT, you have some of it in your blood :D
Klaipėda was part of Lithuania in 1923-1939 as well 😉 nice video 👍
Good place and very beautiful
Nice video! Thank You! 🇱🇹✈

Glad you enjoyed the video! It's a great city :)
I loved traveling to this country and I became more interested in this beautiful country with exactly your video
You guys are amazing. Beautiful happy couple .. I planning to visit Klaipéda this year
Nice video! I live in Klaipėda, and it's unusual to see Americans in Lithuania😊 (Sorry for mistakes)
My dad's side of the family is originally from Lithuania so it was special to come and visit! -Gab
Thanks for the video! I am living in Lithuania :)
Missing Klaipeda so much, where is the place I lived for 4 years.
Ahh memories from when I took the ferry to Sweden from here
Crazy pub Leika!
I'm from klaipėda - Labas - (Hello)
You should visit city of PALANGA, beautiful park, sea Bridge ant else
I have to hand it to you, you know how to do it right!!
Thank you very much :) we're enjoying the journey!
GERAS
My home 😍
Tbh I'm pretty sure I saw you filming,good video
That's so funny! Glad you enjoyed :)
Im from Klaipeda sometimes called Memelburg, from the times of the Teutonic Order
my city
Omg I live here
Lietuva!!!
Lived in Klaipėda for 3 years. The best thing was that during summer after work you can just hop on your car or bike, go to the beach and still get 3-4 hours of warmth and sunshine. The two worst things are that there still are low level criminal people there and that local Russians who account for some 30% of population in Klaipėda still don't speak Lithuanian (they understand and can speak but they simply refuse).
blueeyedbaer i live in Klaipeda for 35 years and not meet any local Russian which refusecto speake Lithuanian. Maybe you meet some Ukrainian migrants which arrive easterday?
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
you got it (👎) for biased remark about Russians.
Can’t live without hate?
By the way , Lithuania is now in EU . Nobody use Lithuanian in EU 👍
blueeeyedbaer you are right! I have similar neighbors. They only can say "Labas" and that's all. :( Bass Makarov really? 35 yrs and didn't see anything like this? You are lucky.
@@liminalspace1382 I don't care about your thumbs down. I have no hate towards Russians as I have many great Russian friends who either live in Russia itself or speak Lithuanian in Lithuania (mostly in Kaunas and Vilnius). I state the fact that a lot of Russian people in Klaipėda refuse to speak Lithuanian even if they understand it. Lithuanian is an official language in the EU, so it's used widely because EU laws state that all the official documents must be translated into all official languages of the EU.
2.19 to 2.25, that creep in the background that stares down every travel vlogger while they shoot 😂
Klaipeda is my home town
Greetings from Lithuania plus go to vilku kampas it's beautiful place
Nice im from klaiped
My hometown
Get back at summer in my city
Hi, how much time would you suggest is adequate to visit Klaipeda? Thanks for a very good and balanced (by that I mean things to see/do) video. Just one further question, I assume you visited Vilnius, same question if you did, how long was a adequate to visit the capital.
Its really strage to see other youtubers going to the same city and country that you live in too...
A place where we take our out-of-country guests to is the Cold War Museum. About 40 minutes from Klaipeda by car, it is situated on a former Soviet rocket base, where they had nuclear rockets, but never fired. It's about an hour long tour which we discovered is quite interesting for USSR outsiders, during season they do it in English as well, and English groups are very small, so likely you'd be having a personal guide :D Admission is 7 euros, the only issue is getting there if you don't have a car or friends with one here.
Jack and Gab I am cordial greeting from London I want to visit Lithuania and town Klaipeda because beautiful wonderful and hystorical town
Booked a flight to Vilnius in January what would you recommend to do and see for a young travel couple 😊
That is my home town
Did you try Lay’s Creamy Forest Mushroom potato chips when you were in Lithuania and Latvia? I wouldn't use up suitcase space to bring a bag to the US, but they were good. They taste similar to sour cream and onion Lay's but with a definite Lipton/Knorr mushroom soup mix flavor added.
My city! Thanks for video! You should better check bar " Faksas "
You must visit Nida, Lithuania
In the summer
hey guys thats where im from Klaipeda :))))
In "Old town bar" did Simomas or Tadas was behind the bar? :>
👍👌🇱🇹
Guys first one vase a bar also 🙂
It felt weird watching this and knowing exactly where they are 😂 loved the video!
Go night trip in "Debrecenas"
😂😂😂
There is no impact from scandinavia to Klaipėda.
Actually, Klaipeda was part of the German empire until 1923 when Lithuania forcefully took it and Germany after the lost ww1 was too weak to take it back until 1939 but then after ww2 it was given to Lithuania because Germany lost all its territories east of Oder river
Is it in your plans visit Latvia ?
Please visit Ventspils!
I miis that town
1:36 back in March 22-23, 1939 Hitler himself used visit Memel during occupation of Lithuania, he also gave a speech to people of Memel back then from that exact balcony. A little bit of history for you :)
You should go to the Olandians cap
How about priekule a small town next to klaipėda
I'm pretty sure that Klaipėda was used to be called Memelland, but I'm not so sure
1:38 Hitler said speech from that balcony FACT.
@Lennard Fischer Cry more
You should try klaipedskaja himka!
Sounds like : klah-ypeh-dskaea heem-kah
That's Russian. No idea what that is.
I live there
You shouldve visited the xii restaurant in amberton hotel
i like how no one is able to walk to sculpture park ( we need to advertise it more)
Jack and Gab are you gonna visit Lithuania's main castles in Kaunas and Trakai? :)
The Klaipeda is and allways was Lithuania. The name Klaipeda is older than city that once has name Memel, which was under Eastern Prussia rule. Memel=Klaipeda. Prussia was originaly lithuanian tribe, which turned german after german rulling class and huge influx of saxonians.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
Riman Jonas Ro
Prussians were Baltic tribe, not lithuanian. Also prussian was the 3rd baltic language along with latvian and lithuanian
The name "Memel" was given around the time when the city was first established by Teutons (1252). It's also of Baltic origin, much like "Klaipeda". In fact, it was first mentioned in the early XIV century in a treaty with Teutonic Order.
That's just bad history
@@kolobokkolobol8774 What is Baltic? There is no such thing. Estonians are Baltic nation as well. Lithuanians are at least from 5 diferent ancient nations or tribes as any other modern nation.
I am from klaipeda
Im living in klaipeda
Gab what was a surname of your Dad's Lithuanian ancestors?
I live hear

Aš gyvenu Lietuvoj
I live in lithuania
u skipped Kaunas?
It is Memel german city for 700years
It belongs to Germany
I hope you guys did not skip Kaunas, the very heart of Lithuania.
Unfortunately we didn't have time :(
Kaunas is shit, let's be honest. Not much to see there
@@derplerify Don't be silly. Kaunas is worth to see if you know what to look for. I've met lots of foreign people who liked Kaunas much more than Vilnius. Kaunas is not picture perfect but it has its own charm.
@@blueeyedbaer I guess.. 🤷♂️
Wish you came to Mažeikiai, take a bus if you are and contact me on Instagram @lietuvis281 , if you are coming! I would gladly show you around
Unfortunately we are now in Riga Latvia :(
@@JackandGabExplore OK, if you come next time to Lithuania🇱🇹, let me know!
Jasenovac First konc lager for kids Magnum Crimen
Klaipeda was never occupied by the Scandinavians. You should also know that there were many Lithuanians living in Prussia. Also you should know that Germans occupied the Prussia in medieval times.
I grew up here during the Soviet 1980s. I miss my happy Soviet childhood. Everything feels soulless nowadays, maybe it's only because of our own older age, acquired cynicism.
Klaipeda is a beatiful city, however, the video was dissapointing. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip, but where are some interesting facts, tips, information on history, culture, demonstration of nice places (more than your own faces)? Nevertheless, you are very young and have time and room for improvement for your future travel videos. Good luck!
That looks amazing video
Klaipėda enjoy the travel there Gab will you visit north macedoina next year :) keep with the great travel:)
Its wierd to see my city i live in
Pls explore Lithuania Kaunas pls i live in Kaunas
Sorry we are actually in Thailand now :(
if you skip kaunas so you lost so much :O
No one visits kaunas(lampėdžiai and kauno marios are amazing)
