📍 Destination Overview
Palanga, Lithuania's most popular Baltic seaside resort, offers a broad white beach stretching over ten kilometers. Its symbol, a long wooden pier stretching into the sea, is beloved for Baltic sunsets. Amber also stars here: the 19th-century Tiskeviciai manor houses the famous amber museum with thousands of treasures, ringed by a botanical garden, a joyful, sunlit escape.
