Definitely very distinct city vibes. I was stationed there since it's the home of the Dragoon battalion of Lithuanian armed forces. I love the place

German inpact is seen on taxies of Klaipėda. In other cities like Vilnius, Kaunas taxies are Prius or something. In Klaipėda most of the taxis are Mercedes-Benz, Opel etc. German car manufacturers

I am a German. I also knew for some longer time it was German but quinceidentally I was visiting Klaipėda right when the short came out :) It was just a short stay but it was fitting xD

Such a lovely city👌🏻😍 I grown up in Kretinga which is about 30km from Klaipėda, remember visiting atleast once per month👌🏻

Did you know that neither Memel is a German word, nor Klaipeda is a Lithuanian one? Both are Curonian words. Curonians were the baltic tribe inhabiting the costal area of Latvia and Lithuania those times.

Fun fact: outside of the old town, you'll either find super futuristic buildings and lots of big shopping centres (literally) or 60s-80s Soviet era apartments.

As a Lithuanian 🇱🇹 this is really accurate 🙂

Random fact: Memel name isnt german, its baltic (curonian) in origin.

And in Vilnus you can see overwhelmingly Polish architecture.

[Dizzy_Shows]

Even if it was prussian. Prussia is not German but baltic. Its more accurate to say Germany has some baltic architecture historically

[manometras]

It is not German anymore. I mean, there are no Germans living there anymore. Or there are just a few.
