[edit][add listing] Do

• Palanga Pier It is a tradition to visit the pier around sunset. This can easily be included as part of a visit to Basanavicius street (see below).

• Basanavicius street The focal point of Palanga, and the highlight of any visit to Palanga, is J.Basanavicius street, running between Vytauto street and the pier. Along this street can be found most of the town's bars, restaurants, nightclubs, funfairs and souvenir shops. People-watching is a fashionable, and fascinating pastime here.

• The beach The beach extends in several kilometres either direction from the pier. Given that Palanga is Lithuania's main tourist resort, expect the beach to be very crowded in summer. The busiest areas are either side of the pier. Though the beach is less crowded further from the pier
