Palanga

Lithuania's principal seaside resort on the Baltic coast, centred on a long wooden pier extending into the sea that has served as the symbolic gathering place of the town since the late 19th century. The pier offers westward views of the sunset over the Baltic that make it a popular late-evening destination in summer. The adjacent Birutė Park, a landscaped estate with the Amber Museum in its 19th-century manor house, frames the northern approach to the beach.
