Ports

Klaipéda is a city in Lithuania on the Baltic Sea coast. The city has long maritime traditions – it even hosts its own Sea Festival in July! – and its architecture bears influences from several different cultures (French, German, Swedish). Take a walk down the Friedricho pasažas, visit the reconstructed Meridianas ship, find the quirky Golden Mouse sculpture and visit the Clock Museum.

Rostock, a vibrant city on the Warnow River, is home to one of the world’s oldest universities and rich in history and charm. One of its most picturesque spots is the Neuer Markt (New Market Square), where you’ll find the 13th-century Brick Gothic Town Hall and six beautifully restored gable houses dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. With many more historical and cultural sights waiting to be discovered, Rostock is the perfect place to explore!
