Liepāja

Liepāja, located on the coast of the Latvian Baltic Sea, is a city with a rich maritime history and a unique and windy character – Liepāja is also known as the Windy City due to the brisk sea breezes. The coast of the city stretches for kilometers, offering a wonderful beach – it has unusually white, very fine sand, in which pieces of amber can often be found after storms.

The old town of Liepāja radiates a special charm with its well–preserved wooden architecture, narrow streets and charming squares. The charm of the city can also be felt in the bustling markets, where both local residents and visitors gather to enjoy fresh products and traditional Latvian delicacies.
