SLSD Posted March 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm studying the itinerary of our upcoming June cruise and would welcome your comments about Saaremaa, Estonia and/or Klaipeda, Lithuania. I did note that SB says that tours in Lithuania are not up to the usual SB standard. Have any of you taken one? I see that Klaipeda is city of 200,000, so probably not walkable? What about Saaremaa, Estonia? I see that Kuressaare is the main town and has an old town area. Have any of you experienced this port/place?

tsavorite Posted March 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Klaipeda is a small town. Some pretty medieval buildings. Nothing that is a ‘must see’, but pleasant to walk around. A little craft market. But the best thing is that they have established a sculpture trail through the town, so you can have a wander and find the sculptures - the favourites are the ghoul on the dockside, the dragon and the little mouse.

wdpmd Posted March 3, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2018 It's readily walkable with a nice ambience. Some interesting squares and medieval structures. Good place for wandering around aimlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted March 3, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 3, 2018 wdmd, are you talking about Saaremaa Estonia or Klaipeda, Lithuania. From what I read Klaipeda is a town of 200,000? Is that what you found? More details please for the uninformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsavorite Posted March 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I don’t know how big the whole town is, but the old town, where you dock, is small, charming and walkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLSD Posted March 3, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Thank you. That clears it up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdpmd Posted March 3, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Sorry. Doing too many things at once. Klaipeda. The old town is an easy walk from where we docked with SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
