I really shouldnt mention this national park as it is best enjoyed with as little people as possible! Going with your own car, the ferry across from Klaipeda is very expensive, 40 Litas. The 10 Litas park entrance fee we gladly paid to keep up this fantastic park. Loved all of it, the smell, the views, and esp. being there... More

I went with bus from Vilnius to Klaipeda (4 hours) at first and then took the ferry to the Curonian Spit. I had thought there would be some kind lease of bicycles, but that was not the case. Furthermore the locals were very bad at English. Instead, I took the bus to Juodkrante at the middle of the island -... More

This is a great place to visit. It is a UNESCO site for a reason. The spit offers a unique nature habitat. In the summer you can go swimming all along the western (outer) part of the spit. It is a little windy but when the sun is out you feel like in the Caribbean. The beaches are truly amazing,... More

We took the ferry across from Klaipeda and drove down to Nida. Unfortunately, the day we were there, there were a few tour buses that had arrived, so it was at least a 2 hour wait before we could get a seat at a restaurant! We walked on the beach down towards the Russian border (saw the Russian tower!). I... More

This is a must-see excursion if you are in Klaipeda. Leave enough time for the Dune walk at the very end of Nida. Staying on the spit for a few days is also something to consider if you have time More

Neringa is a long island with several small towns along it's coast. Neringa is accessible from Klaipeda by ferry only. Or from the russian side. Tourbusses take you around the island. The two most interesting towns are Juodkrante (halfway) and Nida (at the end). Both are touristic resorts. Hill of Witches (Lithuanian: Raganų kalnas) is the main attraction of Juodkrante.... More

Very short ferry ride from the mainland, the baltic beach by Nida was breath taking beautiful, great water & sand. cool observation point with a giant sundial south of the city. Witches hill is a must see - short walk through the woods with multiple wood carvings More

Soft white sandy beaches make Nida a must for a day trip at the very least. We bought a smoked fish and ate it on the beach - lovely and as everywhere else food is cheap and cheerful. Make sure you climb to the top of the dunes and admire the view. More
