We stopped here on our cruise in July. We did a self guided tour of the town.We found the sculpture park which is interesting and spread out around town - which can be a bit of an adventure for children. Overall it was cute but not overly exciting. We had difficulties finding some of the other attractions. We found Klaipeda to be a very small sleepy type of town. Most shops didn't open until after 10am. Also, the cobblestones were the most difficult to walk on from all of our Baltic stops.The day we were visiting was overcast, which perhaps is why we found it a bit gloomy. I highly recommend dropping by the "Coffee Inn". We had the best coffee ever at this Cafe and very friendly service too. We went back a second time just because we found it so good, and it brightened up our day. Their marzipan muffins are divine...
It was right in front of our hotel so we could not not go to see it. It was rainy for a half of our trip and unfortunately we went to see it when it was raining. All the sculptures are made out of rock such as granite. The sculptures are a bit weird but interesting nevertheless. The rain also sort of added some character to the sculptures too.
Чудесный парк с очень интересными скульптурными работами. С радостью погуляла там два часа, скульптуры необычные, совсем не похожи на стандартные советские работы. Интересно посетить, даже если не являетесь особыми любителями скульптур - прогулка по парку в любой случае доставит удовольствие.
Парк понравился обилием всевозможных странных и забавных скульптур. Было весело подурачиться, фотографируясь с ними. Еще мы обратили внимание на годы создания скульптур и удивились, что они несовременные и, как нам казалось, не характерные для того времени, для советского союза тем более.
Хорошее место чтобы прогуляться. Да и скульптуры прикольненькие. С каким-то смыслом, а не просто отображение.
This place is always a good attraction spot for long walks through at any time of year but it doesn't make you stay there. No infrastructure for picnics, a bit abandoned at some corners, no coffe bar or what so ever. If you like modern but at some places post soviet art it's place for you. But with monument for Russian soldiers at one end whole ensemble is not for any mood.
Klaipeda was the least favorite stop on our trip because there was not that much that was interesting to us. The sculpture park was the best thing we did. The statues are interesting and our self guided tour around the area was a good way to pass the time.
This was one of the most interesting places I visited in Klaipeda, except of course, for the Coronian Spit. The park was an old cemetary, and it is quite large, filled with trees, and there must be at least 100 sculptures there. Lots of park benches filled with elder Rigan women, and also lots of children. It's an interesting respite from busy touring, and a great place to recharge your batteries
Nice and green park with more than 100 modern art stone sculptures. One more thing it was created on old Klaipeda city cemetery during the soviet occupation times.By the way it is called just: "sculpture park". Some how, some years ago they changed name from Martynas Mazvydas Sculpture Park to just Sculpture Park. So I guess you should be aware of that.
This little town is sweet and when there go see this beautiful park. It is filled with various sculptures and a most special place to stroll through and enjoy.
