♡ Save
Explore in an interactive and fun way the lost city of Memel-Klaipeda, one of the few cities that disappeared due to World War II. With the help of many photos, we will awaken your imagination to connect the past with the present.
Whether you are traveling solo, in a group, on a cruise ship, or on a bus, you always want to get the best out of your holiday.
An alternative Klaipeda old town walking tour, we offer to immerse you in the search for the lost city of Memel (the city's name until the end of WWII). Visual aids, such as photos from the 19th and 20th centuries, will capture your imagination. These images will not only help you understand the city's historical facts but also enable you to relate to the daily lives of the people who lived here.
The tour is designed to be interactive, with short quiz questions to avoid overwhelm you with "dry" facts and dates. While visiting the iconic spots of the old town, we will try to capture the emotion of what it felt like to live on the borderline between Eastern and Western civilization.
Key objectives of the tour:
-Understand the distinction between Klaipėda and Memel and find artifacts of old Prussian culture -Reveal remarkable stories from the Soviet occupation era
