Basanavicius street
The focal point of palanga, and the highlight of any visit to palanga, is j.basanavicius street, running between vytauto street and the pier. along this street can be found most of the town's bars, restaurants, nightclubs, funfairs and souvenir shops. people-watching is a fashionable, and fascinating pastime here.
Botanical Garden
To the south of the city center is palangas botanical garden, which is more like a forest and boosts the amber museum. its a more a quiet place, especially in winter, but is nice to stroll around. a bit further into it, there is birute hill a forested sand dune, where excavations showed settlements from far back in time and now has a little chapel. from there you can take a nice walk back into town via the beach.
Palanga Pier
It is a tradition to visit the pier around sunset. this can easily be included as part of a visit to basanavicius street see below.
The beach
The beach extends in several kilometres either direction from the pier. given that palanga is lithuania's main tourist resort, expect the beach to be very crowded in summer. the busiest areas are either side of the pier. though the beach is less crowded further from the pier
