Cycling day trip from Palanga to Klaipėda

Ready for a scenic ride by the Baltic Sea? This relaxed 29 km cycling route takes you from the laid-back resort town of Palanga to bustling Klaipėda, Lithuania’s main port city. You’ll pedal mostly on smooth, paved cycleways (about 70% of the route), so expect easy rolling through forests, dunes, and little seaside villages.

Palanga is known for its long sandy beaches and lively Basanavičius Street—make sure to grab an ice cream before you set off! The ride is generally flat, with just over 60 meters of gentle climbing, perfect for all levels. You’ll pass stretches of peaceful pine woodlands, open meadows, and likely spot the Curonian Spit across the water as you get closer to Klaipėda.

Arriving in Klaipėda, explore the old town’s cobbled streets and its quirky sculptures, or chill at one of its waterfront cafes. All in all, this is a beautiful, straightforward ride combining fresh sea air and Lithuanian coastal charm—absolutely worth a go!
