Next to the lively J. Basanavičiaus gatvė, bustling with noise in summer, is a quiet neighbourhood of impressive villas and sanatoriums. Visitors can stay either at Villa Auska, exuding Soviet luxury, or in the high-rise resorts of Vanagupė. Here, the aristocratic heritage of the Counts Tiškevičius meets the mass-housing architecture that developed during the Soviet era. Just next to Palanga is Šventoji, a town of completely different character, dotted with wooden summer cottages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePalanga.
