Get your luggage, stroll out of arrivals at Palanga Airport (PLQ-Palanga Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Klaipeda, around 16 miles from the terminal, opt for something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the glorious dunes of the region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
