Walking along the Danė river in Klaipėda

The center of Klaipėda, along both sides of the Danė river offers a relaxing workout that can be completed during a lunch-break, in the afterwork hours or on a weekend day with your headphones on.

You should start at the heart of Klaipėda, the Biržos Bridge, the major connection of the central street to which any buses or taxi can take you – it‘s right next to the Musical Theater of Klaipėda and the symbol of this town, the beautiful barquentine „Meridianas“.

Choose either direction while facing the ship - moving straight will take you through the park towards a fountain and in about 5 minutes further you can find a nice sushi bar, a DHL office and the seriously awesome live music bar in Klaipėda Kaštonas („Chestnut“) – well worthy of taking a few steps away from the main city‘s attraction.

As you return, do not forget to notice for a few great photo opportunities – „Meridianas“ looks equally appealing at any point of the day.

Continuing back onto the bridge, over the street, you might also get lucky to face a beautiful sunset and there is really only one direction on that crosswalk – onwards.

Passing by along the river you can spot the Municipality of Klaipėda next to another feature of this town – the Fisherman sculpture.

A series of local venues with terraces offer drinks and dining across the river while you can spot the rowers training just beneath the temptations. 

You can walk over as soon as you reach the second bridge you will encounter within few minutes away from Biržos bridge as you continue towards the ferry stop.

The city‘s central artery, the Danė, meets the the Coronian peninsula exiting into the Baltic Sea at the end of the both the biking and the walking roads. Here you can add a pinch of amazingness to your experience by taking a ferry over to the Coronian spit and continue your trail along the coastline on either end of the unique feature of Lithuania.
