A natural wonder lies on the Baltic coast – the Curonian Spit, or peninsula. It is a 98-km long sandy land stretch, dividing the Baltic Sea and the Curonian Lagoon. Partly covered by pine forests, it still boats many open sand dunes, which are up to 70 meters high. This is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. All sandy beaches on the Lithuanian side of the peninsula have got a Blue Flag nomination due to their cleanliness. Refreshing sea breeze, picturesque fishing villages and wild nature are waiting to be experienced. Our 4-day Baltic Capitals extension offers a full discovery of the peninsula. A romantic train journey crossing the whole country passing along beautiful landscapes is also included. Before reaching the peninsula by ferry you will visit a vibrant coastal city of Klaipeda with a lovely old town and a rapidly developing port area. Get in before the crowds return!
