Located on the Baltic Sea, Liepaja is Latvia’s third largest city and is often referred to a being Latvia’s windiest city. Locals affectionately call it the city where the wind was born. In the past, it was a beloved health retreat of noblemen and the aristocracy, and modern Liepaja is equally as loved by locals, national guests and international visitors.
A wander around Liepaja will reveal many different architectural styles, from quaint wooden houses and interesting art deco structures to imposing communist style buildings. Liepaja is split into two main areas; the city centre and a former secret soviet military town, Karosta. Each area has a plethora of things to do and see, including museums, sandy beaches, churches, forts and the lovely Jurmala Park.
