Jono Basanavičiaus Street (Lithuanian: Jono Basanavičiaus gatvė) is a central street in Palanga, the most popular and biggest summer resort in Lithuania.[1][2][3] It is named after Jonas Basanavičius, the chairman of the session that adopted the Act of Independence of Lithuania, who personally visited Palanga in 1924.[1][3]

The pedestrian street has many restaurants, coffeehouses, entertainment facilities and lead to the Palanga Pier and Palanga Beach, thus it is exceptionally popular among tourists.[1][4][5]

For the sake of safety of pedestrians, the riding with bicycles and scooters is prohibited in the street in summer (from June 1 to September 1).[6]
