With a population of just 33,101, Mazeikiai is the eighth largest city in Lithuania, but hardly a bustling metropolis. The town's economy revolves around a massive oil refinery - a boon for some, but a persistent headache of bureaucracy and pollution for residents. Mažeikiai's history stretches back to 1335, though its modern growth really took off in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. While the city boasts a vibrant cultural scene, including a prominent museum, the sleepy pace of life here may not suit everyone.
