When
in
Palanga,
you
not
only
can
enjoy
the
Baltic
sea,
but
also
a
walk
in
one
of
the
most
beautiful
parks
in
Northern
Europe
-
Birutė
Park.
Called
the
pearl
of
Palanga,
this
resort
space
was
established
on
the
territory
of
the
former
sacred
Birutė
Forest
and
Birutė
Mountain.
The
landscape
plan
park
project
was
created
by
the
famous
French
architect
Eduardas
François
Andres
at
the
end
of
the
19th
century
on
the
order
of
Counts
Tiškevičius.
The
talentedly
designed
park
is
characterized
by
a
wide
variety
of
views,
paths
and
flower
beds
on
the
grounds.
Here,
on
the
land
of
the
former
Tiškevičiai
estate,
there
were
swamps
covered
with
reeds
until
then.
On
the
order
of
the
counts,
ponds
were
dug
in
this
place,
and
the
soil
was
used
for
the
embankment
of
the
future
mansion.
In
1897,
a
Neo-Renaissance
style
palace
was
built
on
it,
which
currently
houses
the
famous
Amber
Museum.
Birutė
Park
is
a
great
place
for
a
quiet
and
cozy
family
vacation,
or
a
simple
walk
to
enjoy
the
Baltic
nature.
Traditionally,
three
times
a
week
-
every
summer
Thursday,
Friday
and
Saturday
at
6:30
p.m.
wind
music
fans
gather
in
the
park's
rotunda
-
the
professional
Palanga
orchestra
gives
Palanga
residents
and
guests
free
concerts
surrounded
by
nature.
