Klaipėda is a city in Lithuania the Baltic Sea coast. It is the third largest city in Lithuania and the capital of Klaipėda Country. The city has a complex recorded history, partially due to the combined regional importance of the usually ice-free Port of Klaipėda at the mouth of the Akmena-Danė River. The city of Klaipėda has been involved in maritime trade since as early as the 13th century, and probably during prehistoric times, since it is located on the Amber Road.
