Since the 18th century, the theatre has played an important role in the cultural life of Klaipėda.

Klaipėda's Old Town is different from the rest of Lithuania since it has a lot of German and Scandinavian architecture. The buildings are charming; there is the planned street structure, which can't be found in any other old town in Lithuania. Its streets are geometrically configured very correctly, and the angle of intersection is always straight.
