    My first time to Lithuania was 2016. We stayed in Kaunas, and we were there 25 days to visit my girlfriends family. Fortunately, I was able to visit Klaipeda, Nerringa, Palanga, and of course Vilnius. The country of Lithuania is so beautiful it has definitely left a mark on my soul.
    In two weeks we're going back for another 25 days, which will be my 4th time in Lithuania, I can't wait.
    I enjoy your channel, keep it up!

    Ah, Palanga!... my most favourite place in Lithuania and it brings back great memories. 👍🤗❤️ I was first introduced to it in February 2017 by my Lithuanian ex-girlfriend, and I love going back to it whenever I can. The Amber Museum and the Botanical Gardens are my favourite. ❤️ The journey to it from Vilnius was a killer though.
    Greetings from an Irish man in Ireland! (Airija). 👋😊

    I was born in and grew up in the States but used to go to Palanga as a kid pretty much every summer in the early/mid 2000s. It looks a lot more modern now! You should go to Nida next - it's a quieter and more upscale version of Palanga :) If you like cycling the bike ride from Nida to Klaipeda is awesome (~45km)

    I watched this presentation about one month ago. Finally, two weeks ago I was in Curonian Spit, Klaipeda, and Palanga. Spot on. Enjoyed your presentation here. Well done.

    Palanga does not have a train station but Klaipeda does and you can just take a bus to Palanga from Klaipeda

    I was born in Kretinga, just 10kilometers from Palanga. Seeing my 2nd home city growing so fast is amazing. Still remember those young days going with my parents for the casual evening walk to there😍 and parking problems you can fix very eassily, park your car in Kretinga and go to Palanga by bus. Bus ticket costs less than 1€ and trip takes about 20minutes

    As some commenters have noted, Palanga has a bus station and an international airport, but it doesn't have a train station. As far as I know, the airport only has a few destinations and they're all international (so no flights from Kaunas or Vilnius).
    Another transportation option, as someone mentioned, is to take a train to Klaipeda and take a bus from there to Palanga.

      There were plans to make a flight from vilnius to palanga, but since in lithuania, we only have airliners that are very overkill for 300 kilometres of flight, the plan was cancelled.

    Congrats on 1K subs Lithuania Explained! I have been a fan hoping to visit Lithuania in the upcoming years and I was hoping that you could to a Lithuania accessibility travel guide that shows how to get to Lithuania from the other Baltics, and the rest of Europe, have a good day, and once again, congrats on 1K.

    • @LithuaniaExplained
      @LithuaniaExplained  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks! That’s a great topic. I try to make videos on stuff that I personally experience but since I don’t have plans on travelling to the other Baltic cities anytime soon, I’ll try to make it based on my past experiences- hopefully sometime in July 😁 thanks for your support!

    I remember visiting Palanga a lot as a kid. Once again my mom took me there.
    We took the bus from Klaipėda to Palanga, where I have to note that the bus we used, you surely had to be on time, because it was very small and couldn't take many passengers. It also just came every half an hour and until a certain time so if you wouldn't get a seat but wanted to get back you might be stuck there. Though again I was a kid so maybe there were other ways to get back.
    In Palanga we always took a long walk though and as stated it is really beautiful and I loved the sea. I remember noticing once how people were looking around near the beach and asked my mom confused what they are doing until I learned that they were looking for amber what was another cool thing I learned that day. All in all it surely was a nice experience

    I'm Lithuanian, I love Lithuania, but Palanga is one of those things that I would not recommend any foreigner to visit, with the exception if you are bald and bankrupt and would like to travel 20 years back in time ... but if you really love the sea, when I would recommend either smaller seaside cities as Smiltynė, or Nida or drive extra few hundred kilos to Latvia as they have ten's of of seaside towns with way better aura to it ...

      Ha. I just came back from Lithuania, Palanga and Klaipeda and I had the same thoughts. More so about Klaipeda though. Very Soviet level of service unlike Vilnius which is great.
      It’s also been a while since I’ve seen so many people from small towns vacationing. Guys in Abibas pants and wifebeater shirts (no sleeves kind). Ladies in tight leopard print clothing and fake fur flip flops in a loud color. Very back to the 90s feel

    I think Lithuanian beach towns Palanga and Šventoji are pretty crowded. Nida is calmer, but extremely expensive. Latvia has the calmest beaches and they also have a lot more of them and it's still affordable.

    Lithuania has very little of its own seacoast, and even the beaches they have are shrinking.

  • @maybeeyeman
    @maybeeyeman Před rokem +1

    Ah yes, the village filled with people going for a holiday, with a beach, a basically completely uselles 1.5km long bridge and an international airport.
    Also, 2:35 wait there is a ferris wheel?
    Why did people not tell me this?
