Car Hire Palanga - Mini guide to Palanga

Palanga is a seaside western Lithuania town along the shore of the Baltic Sea. What was once a fisherman's village began to develop into a health resort in the 19th century thanks to Count Tyszkiewicz who moved to the town. A park, new palace, port as well as multiple other things were constructed during this time period.

Palanga is only an hour away from the Curonian Spit Both Palanga and the Curonian Spit have their own mythologies. Palanga having a myth involving a pagan shrine at the foot of a hill while the Curonian Spit has a myth about being created by a strong girl named Neringa.

The Curonian Spit has several features including dunes, hills and a settlement of herons and cormorants. Architecture is another drawing point. Of course there is the beautiful and fragile landscape itself which is considered to be one of the most beautiful and unique in Europe.

Palanga itself tends to be quiet in the winter, but during the summer is when the excitement comes. It attracts tourists to its beaches and seaside carnival as well as its amber park museum. A full day can be spent exploring the museum alone. That's not even accounting for the time that can be spent in the botanical gardens housing the museum. Birute's hill hosts a chapel which is now decorated with stained glass windows. The Lurdas is nearby at the foot of the hill along with the statue of Birute. The Lurdas itself is a structure built of unprocessed stone and cement.

Other forms of entertainment include summer festivals, open air concerts and of course restaurants all of which are reachable by car hire. For those who want a more active vacation there are bicycle trails, horse riding, tennis courts, and even pedal boats. During the night casinos, night clubs and bars can be found.
