Nidos Lighthouse is the highest navigational beacon in Lithuania, rising 79 meters above sea level. The 29-meter-high lighthouse, built on Urbo Hill, has long been a symbol of home for sailors.
Klaipėda Lighthouse is considered the oldest and was one of the first lighthouses on the northeastern Baltic Sea coast.
Bonus tip: When visiting the Nidos Lighthouse, we recommend climbing to the top of the lighthouse, from where you will have a breathtaking panorama of the Curonian Spit and the surrounding lagoon and sea.
