The lively beach resort is bustling with fun attractions, breath-taking natural beauty and a selection of restaurants.
Visitors are spoiled for choice with numerous tours to explore Palanga.
Jono Basanavičius street is packed with cafes, restaurants and bars.
Palanga comes alive at night during the summer with numerous beach parties and busy nightclubs.
With Ryanair flights from Dublin starting from €35.85 in April, it makes for a perfect sunny getaway.
They said: “Of all the cities in Lithuania, Palanga is one of the most breathtaking and is most famous for its stunning resorts lining the shore of the Baltic Sea.”
Thriving with local tourism, Palanga is not overcrowded with international visitors.
The airline said: “The white sandy beaches and Palanga Pier are waiting for travellers to relax and unwind in Palanga.”
“These are some of the most famous beaches in the area because of their ideal location and fantastic weather.”
Top attractions include the Palanga Amber Museum, Birute Park, the Dog Museum, the Fountain of Yurate and Kastitis.
Ryanair chiefs added: “The easiest way to get around Palanga is by renting a car. Popular minibuses are also often used by tourists.”
“The best time to visit is during the summer to experience the street festivals and gorgeous maritime weather.”
Most people visit the main beach in Palanga, with the miles of sand split by the large L-shaped pier, first built in 1589.
Visitors took to TripAdvisor to rate their beach experience in Palanga.
One person said: “There are many places to go on Palanga Beach and lots of fun.
“We actually ventured onto the women’s beach (you can go nude) this year and it was pleasant; there are shopping kiosks for women as you walk to the beach. I did not go nude – and that was okay.”
Another said: “Nice sandy beach with soft sand. Long pier that goes far out into the sea.
“Very long pathway for bicycle and running that goes along the beach. Great forest line with dunes.”
One visitor shared: “Palanga’s white sandy beaches and postcard-perfect waves are great for relaxing and spending time with your family.
“If you go there on a weekday there is plenty room all along the beach, but weekends are more crowded and be prepared to have to share space.
“The one complaint I would have is the scarcity of lifeguards and the amount of cigarette butts in the sand.
“If you are lucky though, you may also find amber in the sand.”
While another added: “Not an Australian beach but super nice.
“We walked along it, saw many cute dogs, and lots of fun people.
“Flat water, smells amazingly fresh and has a good boardwalk along it in the forest nearby.”

A FORMER royal aide has revealed how a major mishap occurred around the announcement for Princess Charlotte’s birth.
Jason Knauf, who worked for Prince William and Princess Kate, shared how he had accidentally lost the confidential details of the birth before it was due to be announced.

AFPJason was tasked with breaking the news of the birth[/caption]
The former aide shared how he had written down the top secret information – which included Charlotte’s time of birth and weight – but he dropped it on the street.
He shared to 60 Minutes Australia: “We weren’t going to announce it for another couple of hours. And I had this piece of paper to go write this press release.
“I’m still out there with hundreds of journalists trying to have a game face, and then I couldn’t find the piece of paper, and I think I had dropped it somewhere on the street.
“But somewhere on that street the entire time was a piece of paper that said there had been a little princess born, what time and how much she weighed. It was one of those things, like, heart in mouth until we got to the announcement, and I got through it.”
When he was questioned as to whether he ever found the slip, he shared: “No, I never found it and neither did any of the media though. So that’s all that really mattered.”
She was brought into the world in the infamous Lindo Wing, and weighed 8lbs 3oz.
Princess Charlotte has won the hearts of royal fans around the globe thanks to her adorable personality and stylish looks.
The sassy and lovable youngster – now aged nine – may be the Prince and Princess of Wales’ only daughter, but she certainly holds her own around brothers.
From nailing her own little royal wave to delighting fans with her funny sayings, Princess Charlotte often steals the show.
Fans have also seen her grow into a sweet “mini-me” of mum, Kate Middleton.
The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards said: “When I see Princess Charlotte’s smile I instantly see the Queen.
“When the Queen smiles, everything always seems better in the world.”

Speaking to Fabulous, Judi said: “This is such a confident and grown-up look from Charlotte who has moved on from the childlike trait of standing straight and awkward in front of the camera and who has opted instead to strike a pose that looks assertive and relaxed, with a smile that is less of a fun grin and more of a signal of warmth and empathy.”
The body language professional added: “Her lean creates a series of body angles but the way she has chosen a high wall to lean her elbow on suggests a quiet desire to dominate and take the lead.
“The lifted arm also creates one pit-bare gesture that is another sign of confidence.”
Kate Middleton's 'golden rule' with George, Charlotte and Louis
KATE'S key rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is about kindness.
According to HELLO! Online’s Royal Correspondent: “Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time, and the current Princess of Wales, they are both very affectionate with their children.
“Kate is often seen holding her children’s hands or picking them up for cuddles when they were smaller.
“There are often lots of comforting gestures, such as a pat on the back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do.”
A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 43-year-old is “very chilled at home” but definitely not a pushover and will tell the kids off when needed.
They told PEOPLE: “It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces.
“She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”

And shoppers have been racing to the tills to get their hands on some of the pieces.

Some have even gone viral, either as dupes for more expensive products or for their incredible durability, style and features.
Over the last couple of months, shoppers have been very impressed by their activewear range, with many of the pieces going viral.
One of the most impressive pieces was the leggings in their activewear range, which sold out very quickly.
Now, the retailer has brought out more of their famous Contour Leggings.
One shopper has taken to social media to share a look at the stunning piece.
TikTok user Rhianna Bolton shared a video to the platform for her followers.
At the beginning of the video, she can be seen holding up a large Dunnes Stores shopping bag.
She said: “I got my leggings from there yesterday — these were €15 and are contour leggings.
“They really really cinch you in, they’re so flattering and really soft.
“I really like them.”
She explains that the only thing she doesn’t like about them is the length at the ankles, adding that she just folds them up.
In the haul, she picked up a sportswear top to match the leggings.
She also picked up two bikinis for her holidays.
The Contour Leggings are a complete bargain, costing just €15.
They are available in a range of two colours including black and khaki.
The leggings are available in sizes XS to XXL.
In the official item description on the Dunnes Stores website, fashion bosses wrote: “Contour is a buttery soft fabric, with medium compression that feels like a gentle hug.
“With a v-shaped waistband and a curved hem detail, these 7/8 length leggings offer a supportive, slimming silhouette that is made to move with you.
“Ultra-flattering, super soft, and quick drying, these leggings feature four-way stretch and moisture management technology to help you stay cool while you work out.
“Matching jacket sold separately.”
The leggings are set to fly off the shelves, so shoppers are being urged to grab them quickly.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
