Palanga Pier
Palangos tiltas
A wooden pier stretching about 470 metres into the Baltic Sea, and Lithuania's most popular spot for watching the sunset.
The original pier was built around 1888 by Count Tyszkiewicz for steamships travelling between Klaipėda and Liepāja. The current pier was rebuilt in 1998 and is about 470 metres long. On summer evenings, tourists and locals gather on the pier along J. Basanavičiaus Street to watch the sun sink into the sea. It is the symbol of Palanga. It is occasionally closed in winter when winds are strong and waves are high. Admission is free, and the pier is open 24 hours a day. It's best to arrive half an hour before sunset.
