The most popular places in Palanga where young people spend time in the gallery:
When asked if this makes young people more and more demanding, they wake up quickly with the same activities, he emphasized that, in fact, both this age group and all the guests of Palanga want to innovate every year.
“They are looking for something new, undiscovered, so each year it is a great challenge for both entrepreneurs and us to guess the wishes, expectations and satisfy them,” the interlocutor did not hide.
It should also be noted that some young people come to Palanga not only to relax, but also to work. “They want to combine work with leisure, and it can be said that they are successful, because every year we receive inquiries that young people want to get a job, we really notice it,” said R.

When asked which youth activities are most popular with young people this season, Rasa highlighted an active way to spend free time.
“These are new trendy sports, active recreation and windsurfing on the sea and the Šventoji River. An active form of leisure is probably the most attractive for young people, who try enthusiastically, want new experiences and, after an active day, want to spend time at night surrounded by good music, in an interesting cafe or bar, ” said the director of the Palanga Tourist Information Center.
R. Kmitienė also mentioned the well-developed cycle route as a great achievement in recent years to adapt to the needs of young people. It is possible to reach Klaipeda from Palanga through Karklė, and from Klaipeda to Nida. For those who want a more romantic ride, it is suggested to simply visit the Holy, to which a good quality bike path also leads along the coast. In other words, you don’t just feel in Palanga.
The popular 313 Cable Park, located near Palanga, will also find interesting activities for those who like extreme sensations. There is also a trampoline water park near Kunigiškės “Jump Park Palanga”. Both young people and families have already managed to love the Palanga basin, especially when Palanga is not happy with the good weather.

In Palanga, the number of youth-focused events and public spaces is also growing rapidly. The programs are offered by recently opened music clubs, cultural spaces. This year, R. Kmitienė named the cultural space “I Love Palanga”, located in a new place, Jūratės Street, as the most attractive places for young people, as well as the public space “Rąžė” with a rich selection of street food and interesting events for young people, the cultural bar “Kablys: jūra. Culture”, which also hosts a series of concerts by alternative artists.
“In fact, Palanga now really has something to offer to this target group of tourists,” said R. Kmitienė.
However, this was not always like that. Previously, Palanga could not boast of cultural spaces, concerts of alternative music groups, it was dominated only by artists from the popular stage. And negative labels say that many unenthusiastic youth gather here, migrants who engage in fights stick much more frequently.
“But Palanga is changing, and its infrastructure is changing. It is one of the ingredients that makes us not hear any more negative and bad information. I would venture to say that now the attitude and world view of our guests is a little different. The same emigrants who have stayed in other European tourist centers see what their culture is, the consumption that is transmitted. The complex is beautifying, we are beautifying ourselves, everything is interconnected “, – 15 minutes R.Kmitienė said.
Some lack youth music, others lack better clubs
To know the expectations and activities of the young people who come to Palanga, 15 minutes The journalist also interviewed the young people he met here.
Maja and Vėjūnė said that they traditionally come to Palanga from an early age every year; They said they loved this complex, where they already know places, their own people, their own surroundings. Choose Palanga instead of another city because there are more interesting activities here, especially when you come with friends.
However, Vėjūnė says something is missing: “I remember there were amusement parks here once. They really need to make Palanga even more attractive to young people. “
Both girls also dislike the fact that sometimes youth-oriented entertainment is sought.
“I think Palanga is sometimes not as attractive to young people as it is very focused on the old crowd, there are large-scale tablecloths, especially in cafes. These are places for older audiences, especially Basanavičiaus street with Katunskytė audience. Yes, there are also concerts for young people, but not on this street, where there is already a long-standing venue for the same audience, “said Maja.
“You definitely have to turn a corner to find something more interesting,” Vėjūnė agreed.

However, not only girls who rest peacefully by the sea, walk, but also actively spend their free time have seen many positive changes in Palanga in recent years.
“It is very good that there are many bike trails and that they are adapted, it is not that you walk and everything shakes.” We usually drive to other places in Palanga, not just downtown, ”they said.
Right after graduation, future student Victoria and even schoolgirl Leah came to Palanga to relax after the school year. They said they spend their free time here more calmly, but said they miss more interesting and durable shops.
And here one of the girls added: “I think Palanga is so attractive to young people, but, of course, not like other countries, where all kinds of shows are performed for free at night. It could be the same here. Or movie nights.
fifteenmin When the journalist clarified that movie nights were still taking place here in certain spaces, they admitted that they had not heard of him.
The young landscape architect Mantas called himself an atypical youth representative. The guy, who comes to Palanga once a year, said that he likes to walk through the most remote streets of the city, go to Birutė Park, but that he doesn’t like Jonas Basanavičius Street due, as they say, to excessive noise.
“Judging from the point of view of a landscape architect, Palanga would like to have more green spaces. And more concerts by alternative bands of all kinds katunskytės It really isn’t fascinating, “he said.
Manto’s cousin, Ieva, who praised Palanga for the beautiful walking spots, said Palanga wanted more cinemas and a larger selection of movies. Another cousin, Emma, said that she likes going to live at night and that she likes the street musicians who play at the resort: “It gives vitality to the city. It’s fun to hear everyone who plays, from amateurs to professionals. “
“I think it would be a good idea to hold music festivals here in the summer and promote them on social media. Young people would really be interested in that, they would like to participate in them, “suggested Ema.

Convicts Gabrielė and Minvydas revealed that they were visiting Palanga for the first time, coming here for work. For those who like to spend their time in silence, they used to choose the Saint. However, Palanga was not disappointed, say those who are returning here.
“We also wanted to see the bridge. Cold“I liked it, we didn’t expect it for a long time, bigger than in Šventoji, it’s more interesting,” they added with a smile.
Well, Mindaugas, who met on Jonas Basanavičiaus Street, openly admitted that he was going to Palanga just for fun, so his priorities are completely different.
“It just came to our attention then rugs, openings and the afternoons can puff up. I won’t even say that in detail, he laughed. “In Palanga, all I need is bolder panels, and the clubs could be better, because now they are not something like that.”
