Palanga, Lithuania – 2015

It joins the lively, pedestrianized Basanavičiaus Street, lined with bars and restaurants. The neo-Renaissance Tiskevičiai Palace houses the Palanga Amber Museum, which has a large display of amber, and exhibits on the gemstone’s history.

Palanga city is definitely one of most visited attractions especially in summer time. Here in this gallery I visited Palanga in 2015 together with my friend for b-day celebration. Didn't stay long, only for few days but already managed to see a lot. Weather was tricky, after a while even got under quite angry storm but still was fun. Def worth visiting, suggesting everyone this fun place with young atmosphere!

In Palanga you also can visit The Lithuanian Sea Museum and Dolphinarium. I never did it myself but one day if I will be there I might try.
