What is it like to live in Klaipeda? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

The city is very small and beautiful,especially old town with its ancient buildings. We have beautiful beaches and a breathtaking view from "Olandu kepure". The city has 3 main streets - Minijos,Taikos and Shilutes so you can find the right way to any place you need. I recommend this city, I live here for 13 years and can say only good things about Klaipeda. This is the best city which Lithuania can offer to Erasmus students.

What is the student lifestyle like in Klaipeda?

Students here have to be hardworking, due to good education system you can't study here using phrase ''Sorry, I'm Erasmus" :D Student lifestyle here is like in any other place. We are study and have fun with a local people, especially with lithuanian girls.

How much does it cost to live in Klaipeda?

I think for only living (meal + flat) it's enough 550-600€. And of course for relaxing, clubs, pubs and restaurants + 200€ monthly.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Klaipeda? Is there any advice you can give?

It is not very difficult to find accommodation here, because a large number of local people are working abroad and they rent their own flats. Costs are starting from 150€ till infinity. Of course for utilities you pay singly. (~50€)

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Here we have a big choice of bars, restaurants for any type of student. Have a lot of fast food bars, the best and not very expensive is Pizza Express. (also McDonalds,Hesburger) Also have Chinese restaurants "Panda", "Auksinis liūtas", "Bambukas". Asian restaurant "Soya'' and one of the expensive restaurant "XIX amžius". The most popular place is "Cili Pica"

What places would you recommend visiting in Klaipeda?

All our beaches (Giruliai, Melnrage, Karkle) also the old town and Ethnology museum. I recommend to visit Dolphinarium and Sea museum near it.

Is it good to eat out in Klaipeda? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

I like to eat sometimes in Panda because they make delicious Chinese food and more cheaper than in other places. And Pizza Express, because they make very tasty pizza. My favorite place is restaurant "Ridikai", costs here are a little bit higher,but food is amazing and you can do your own orders, because you can talk with chef.

Is the nightlife good in Klaipeda? Where is good to go?

Yes, it is good enought. Students always find places to go :D The 3 main nightclubs for students are Martini, Port, Fabric. Also Memel is good,but in memel costs are a little bit higher. We have a lot of nightclubs and pubs. The most cheaper place where you can become drunk is Šikšnosparnis :D And all the nightclubs are located in or near old town

What advice would you give future students heading to Klaipeda?

Come here and enjoy the best year in your life ) Wherever you will go, student life will be amazing with Erasmus!!! :)))
