J. Basanavičiaus Street
J. Basanavičiaus gatvė
A pedestrian street from the town centre to the pier, lined with old wooden villas, restaurants, amusement rides and street performers.
J. Basanavičiaus Street is Palanga's main pedestrian street. It runs about 1 km from the town centre down to the seaside pier. Along the way, wooden holiday villas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have been converted into restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops. In summer evenings, the street comes alive with street shows, amusement stalls and open-air bars, and it stays busy late into the night. It's a lovely evening walk to the pier for the sunset, and it's a good place to try Lithuanian snacks such as smoked fish and cold beet soup.
