Walking Tour of Memel
Walking is good for you because this is the pace at which genetically you have done the most practice of. When visiting Klaipėda, set a few hours aside to get those 10,000 steps while learning amazing stuff about your walk.
START - The Train Station
Located well it greets you right across the road from the national bus station of Klaipėda, by the side of an outstanding restaurant called XIX Century located in the building of the very first station of the town.
Have a coffee, lunch or dinner, and carry on towards the cosiest street in town, by turning left at the end of the street when you walk away from the buses. By then, you are about 300 steps away from the legendary school build in 1922 among all other interesting things around.
Hop over accross the road and straight ahead to be greeted by another muse.
Keep straight ahead and head towards the Klaipėda Art Academy located in union with another beautiful piece of history.
Here is the clear point to remember - next time you go to the right from here, but this time you take 40 steps to the left.
To what is a rite through history of censorship that brough a park of Sculptures. Continue straight for 10 minutes at ease to see some of the largest trees in town. Or look around for family friendly art.
Hunting for gems together in piece.
Be calm to know that the entire time, you goal is to remain about the 300 steps away from yet another historical knot of question, but it will keep you able to return to the bus & train station at any point in 20 mins easy pacing.
This is how you need to be standing, before turning 180 degrees and finding yourself 10 min from the stations. Just look for the same Gymnasium you already met right after passing by the restaurant.
The schedule for buses leaving to Vilnius, Kaunas and Palanga is here, so worry not. You need to buy at the station at least 30 mins before departure just to be sure you make it. If you still want to go.
Until then circle around the park for plenty of great objects to photograph, and if you have more time left, just look for a special bench to relax before round 2 here.
