Castle Hill is topped by the 15th-century Gedimino Tower, once part of the city's fortifications. Inside the tower is the Vilnius Castle Museum, a subdivision of the Lithuanian National Museum, which has beautiful city views from its observation deck. A funicular helps you reach the Castle Hill more easily, at €2 per round-trip. However, you will still have to pay to enter the tower itself in order to view the exhibitions and the panorama of the Old Town.
In the historic Kopgalis Fort complex on the Curonian Spit, this museum sits across the bay from the mainland and port and can be reached in a few minutes by ferry. This family-friendly museum recounts Klaipeda’s rich maritime heritage, which is an important part of the city’s identity. It includes exhibitions on marine fauna, shipping history, ethnographic exposition, as well as an aquarium and dolphinarium. Among other things, visitors will be able to discover ship models from different periods, along with authentic fishing boats, sail boats and boat remains.
