Theatre Square is the lively centre, with quirky sculptures like The Black Ghost scattered around the district. The three-masted sailing ship Meridianas is moored on the Dane River and is one of the city's landmarks. A free shuttle covers the short distance from the cruise terminal. The Curonian Spit, a UNESCO-listed sand dune peninsula, is the main draw and reachable by a short ferry from the city. The Lithuanian Sea Museum and Dolphinarium sit at the spit's northern tip. Nida, further along the spit, has wooden villas and tall sand dunes. In town, riverside cafΓ©s serve fresh Baltic fish and Lithuanian dishes. Euros are the currency, and English is widely spoken. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** EUR (Euro) - **Language:** Lithuanian - **Timezone:** Europe/Vilnius (UTC+2) - **Tipping:** 5-10% at restaurants ## Location Coordinates: 55.7113, 21.1216 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Klaipeda/@55.71133,21.12164,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Klaipeda&ll=55.71133,21.12164&z=13) ## Things to Do in Klaipeda Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~9h port call.
