Klaipeda (Lithuania)
In fifth place in this Booking ranking is Klaipeda, Lithuania. This place is very particular in its architecture: most of the buildings are in the Anglo-Saxon, German, English or Danish style, while the Soviet style dominates behind the centre and in the first suburbs. The outer circle, on the other hand, is dominated by ultra-modern detached houses, a symbol of the city's development in the decade 1998-2008.
