What attracts Russians to tourist Palanga?

The streets of Palanga are always crowded

Unsurprisingly, over the years more and more of our compatriots travel to countries that were once part of the mighty Soviet Union. The aspirations of many vacationers are directed towards Lithuania – a small republic on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Cozy hotels in Palanga, which firmly holds the status of one of the most visited resorts in western Lithuania, hospitably open their doors to everyone who arrives here for educational or other purposes.

Practice shows that no linguistic barrier arises between locals, hotel staff, and visitors. Everyone freely communicates in Russian, resulting in no communication problems. From history we remember that from the 1940s the republic became part of the USSR – Russian had the status of a state language in Lithuania for many years. Russian tourists increasingly plan their vacations at Baltic resorts – the time spent here gives them the opportunity to fully relax, setting aside all heavy and sad thoughts.

It can be confidently stated that trips to western Lithuania can be afforded by travelers with a wide range of financial means. Guests can expect both 5-star hotels in Palanga, belonging to the category of upscale establishments, and inexpensive hotels oriented towards guests with a medium income.

During their stay in the city, travelers can take educational walks, visiting the sights of Palanga. Among the well-known places of the resort city are the house-museum of artist A. Mončys, the Botanical Garden built in 1897 according to the design of É. André, the Amber Museum in the Tyszkiewicz Palace. Also popular among guests is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built in the Neo-Gothic style over 10 years (from 1897 to 1907) according to the design of Swedish architect K. Strandman.
