Literally the best pronunciation of the Lithuania city name I have ever heard from a foreigners 😂 Nice video btw! Wish you best of luck 🍀 Can’t wait for the next vid!
Yayyy we listened really carefully as they were announcing the Klaipeda stop on the train hahaha 😂 Our Curonian Spit video should be up sometime tomorrow!
@@Socialhustle.do you mean occupants who occupied Curonian land called Klaipeda and tried to rename it to memel? The same ones who occupied Old prussian lands? their main city called Tvenkste? Who exterminated them and renamed it to Konigsberg which was later accupied by another occupants who renaimed it again to kaliningrad.
It is another beautiful autumn day in Klaipeda! The city is small, beautiful and it is rich in historical architectural elements. You sounded like professional journalists. We went to Finland and Latvia and we loved smoked Baltic sprats . Awesome!
Hey, im lithuanian and Klaipėda is my city. Im very glad you liked this city, its weird to see a lot of tourists there cause to me Klaipeda seems simple and not as impressive as other cities. But Klaipeda is one of those places that is very calm and chill. Klaipedians can be tough people because we always have to stay grounded while the wind is strong.
Sorry for the mistakes, I use google translator 😁 I don't know English well. I want to say one historical fact. You filmed a balcony when you were at Theaters Squere. Hitler spoke from that balcony, there are photos on the Internet. ☺️ Not everyone knows that.
The statue of the girl Anike in the fountain have a story. She was the only one who turned her back to Hitler during his speech on the balcony. After that incident she was gone.
So the black ghost. Ill tell you the story behind it. So there is a story that in the 16th - 17th century there was a guard on duty in the castle (Now a cool museum) And some unknown person all in black that you couldn't even see his face got out of the water and asked the guard how he was doing and if they had food and how overall the military was doing. The guard responded by telling the person in black that it was all fine , they had food etc. Then the mysterious person said "Its not gonna be long that way" And went back into the water and disappeared.
That's amazing! My dad's side of the family is originally from Lithuania too, but we're not sure where. They left in the 1800's because of persecution -G
Lived in Klaipėda for 3 years. The best thing was that during summer after work you can just hop on your car or bike, go to the beach and still get 3-4 hours of warmth and sunshine. The two worst things are that there still are low level criminal people there and that local Russians who account for some 30% of population in Klaipėda still don't speak Lithuanian (they understand and can speak but they simply refuse).
blueeyedbaer i live in Klaipeda for 35 years and not meet any local Russian which refusecto speake Lithuanian. Maybe you meet some Ukrainian migrants which arrive easterday?
blueeeyedbaer you are right! I have similar neighbors. They only can say "Labas" and that's all. :( Bass Makarov really? 35 yrs and didn't see anything like this? You are lucky.
@@liminalspace1382 I don't care about your thumbs down. I have no hate towards Russians as I have many great Russian friends who either live in Russia itself or speak Lithuanian in Lithuania (mostly in Kaunas and Vilnius). I state the fact that a lot of Russian people in Klaipėda refuse to speak Lithuanian even if they understand it. Lithuanian is an official language in the EU, so it's used widely because EU laws state that all the official documents must be translated into all official languages of the EU.
A place where we take our out-of-country guests to is the Cold War Museum. About 40 minutes from Klaipeda by car, it is situated on a former Soviet rocket base, where they had nuclear rockets, but never fired. It's about an hour long tour which we discovered is quite interesting for USSR outsiders, during season they do it in English as well, and English groups are very small, so likely you'd be having a personal guide :D Admission is 7 euros, the only issue is getting there if you don't have a car or friends with one here.
Actually, Klaipeda was part of the German empire until 1923 when Lithuania forcefully took it and Germany after the lost ww1 was too weak to take it back until 1939 but then after ww2 it was given to Lithuania because Germany lost all its territories east of Oder river
1:36 back in March 22-23, 1939 Hitler himself used visit Memel during occupation of Lithuania, he also gave a speech to people of Memel back then from that exact balcony. A little bit of history for you :)
Did you try Lay’s Creamy Forest Mushroom potato chips when you were in Lithuania and Latvia? I wouldn't use up suitcase space to bring a bag to the US, but they were good. They taste similar to sour cream and onion Lay's but with a definite Lipton/Knorr mushroom soup mix flavor added.
The Klaipeda is and allways was Lithuania. The name Klaipeda is older than city that once has name Memel, which was under Eastern Prussia rule. Memel=Klaipeda. Prussia was originaly lithuanian tribe, which turned german after german rulling class and huge influx of saxonians.
The name "Memel" was given around the time when the city was first established by Teutons (1252). It's also of Baltic origin, much like "Klaipeda". In fact, it was first mentioned in the early XIV century in a treaty with Teutonic Order.
@@kolobokkolobol8774 What is Baltic? There is no such thing. Estonians are Baltic nation as well. Lithuanians are at least from 5 diferent ancient nations or tribes as any other modern nation.
Hi, how much time would you suggest is adequate to visit Klaipeda? Thanks for a very good and balanced (by that I mean things to see/do) video. Just one further question, I assume you visited Vilnius, same question if you did, how long was a adequate to visit the capital.
Klaipeda is a beatiful city, however, the video was dissapointing. I am glad that you enjoyed the trip, but where are some interesting facts, tips, information on history, culture, demonstration of nice places (more than your own faces)? Nevertheless, you are very young and have time and room for improvement for your future travel videos. Good luck!
Klaipeda was never occupied by the Scandinavians. You should also know that there were many Lithuanians living in Prussia. Also you should know that Germans occupied the Prussia in medieval times.
I grew up here during the Soviet 1980s. I miss my happy Soviet childhood. Everything feels soulless nowadays, maybe it's only because of our own older age, acquired cynicism.
@@derplerify Don't be silly. Kaunas is worth to see if you know what to look for. I've met lots of foreign people who liked Kaunas much more than Vilnius. Kaunas is not picture perfect but it has its own charm.
It's so strange to see my own city through eyes of tourists, good job guys, keep up the good work 😁
Thanks so much!

In Senamiesčio baras you have to taste cheese fingers, it is so delicious! Best cheese fingers in Klaipėda! This restaurant is so famous for that 🙌
Agreed. Try the chicken ones too
Cheese fingers mmmmmm who likes that give a like :)
Agreed, they are the best
@@DARIUSJ98 (taip) yes
Agree i was eating them yesterday
Thank you for your perfect "klaipeda" pronaunciation, most of the russians cant pronounce it correctly.
We listened very carefully on the train ride over when they announced the Klaipeda stop :) Hahaha

Interesting love hearing these facts. Hope to visit the city soon with my lithuanian friend.
On March 24 1939 , Adolf Hitler arrived in Klaipeda, who delivered a short speech..

There is no impact from scandinavia to Klaipėda.
Get back at summer in my city

How about priekule a small town next to klaipėda
i like how no one is able to walk to sculpture park ( we need to advertise it more)
