📍 Destination Overview
Nida sits on the Curonian Spit, a long sandbar separating the Baltic Sea from the Curonian Lagoon, a UNESCO site. Its drama is the great dunes, above all Parnidis, whose summit views both the deep-blue Baltic and the green lagoon. Painted fisherman cottages line its lanes; Thomas Mann summered here, his house now a museum.
