Klaipėda city centre, approximately 8 kilometres away, provides a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and bars, including fresh Baltic seafood specialities. The Old Town area is particularly well served with dining options to suit most budgets.

Traveller Tips
  • Pre-arrange your ground transfer as taxi availability at the airfield can be limited.
  • Check customs and border procedures in advance if arriving from outside the Schengen Area.
  • The Curonian Spit UNESCO World Heritage Site is a short ferry ride from Klaipėda and worth planning into your visit.
  • Klaipėda's weather can be windy and damp; carry appropriate clothing regardless of season.
