Cycling day trip from Klaipėda to Palanga

Get ready for a breezy Baltic ride! This route starts in Klaipėda, Lithuania’s main port city, rich with maritime history and vibrant old town vibes. You’ll head north for about 28 km, gliding mostly along smooth bike paths (cycleway heaven!), with the refreshing sea air never far away. The surface is a mix, but mostly paved or asphalt, making for a comfortable spin.

The ride is quite flat, with minimal elevation—just enough to add a little variety but nothing too challenging. You’ll pass through stretches of pine forest and tranquil villages, perfect for a mid-ride break. The route ends in Palanga, Lithuania’s favorite seaside resort, famous for its long sandy beach, lively Basanavičius Street, and the sweet scent from its iconic amber museum.

All in all, it’s a relaxed, scenic ride between two of the country’s prime coastal spots—ideal for a sunny day and anyone looking to explore Lithuania’s seaside treasures on two wheels. Don’t forget to grab an ice cream or even a dip in the sea in Palanga!
