Klaipeda is the third city of Lithuania and the most important port. Until 1919 the city was part of Germany and known as Memel. The old town still has quite a few monuments from those days and is rather popualr with German tourists.
The heart of the old town is the Theatre Square named after the Neoclassical theatre. In front of the theatre is the fountain of Anna.
Southeast of the Sqaure you find the History Museum of Lithuania Minor with local finds and costumes,
In the new town, just north of the old town the most impressive sights are the Post Office which dates from the end of the 19-th century and the Clock Museum with some magnificent 18-th century clocks.
A short ferry ride takes you accross the Kurland Lagoon to Nida and the neringa peninsula, where you find an excellent Maritime Museum housed in an old German fort.
