PALANGA

Palanga is a resort town where the Sventoji and Graze rivers run into the Baltic Sea. The history of Palanga goes back a long time, as is evidenced by archaeological finds: not far from town Sventoji, archaeologists have come across a campground which suggested that the area was inhabited some 5000 years ago.

Today Palanga is the most popular sea resort in Lithuania. The famous white sand, the beach that seems to stretch forever and pine groves attract thousands of both Lithuanians and foreigners. There are two must-sees in Palanga: Birute’s Hill - is a tall sand-dune which originally boasted a pagan temple to Thunder god Perkunas that was guarded by Vestal Virgins. The second and most interested tourist site is the AmberMuseum, which has tens of thousands of different amber pieces on display, including some bigger than you can imagine. These days, Palanga is also the place to go for active youngsters in search of bars and nightclubs, of which the town now has plenty.

Palanga has its own small airport with the international flights from Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Russia. One can also use Vilnius international airport - still the most convenient way to enter Lithuania. More detailed information about Lithuania and Palanga can be found on the websites:
