Discover Liepāja
A creative Baltic city with a huge beach and a direct overnight ferry to Germany
Liepāja sits on Latvia’s western Baltic coast and feels very different from Riga. The city combines an expansive sandy beach with historic neighbourhoods, industrial heritage and a strong reputation for music and culture.
The seafront is one of Liepāja’s defining attractions. A long beach and seaside park stretch beside the city, making it easy to combine urban sightseeing with a walk, swim or sunset on the Baltic coast.
Central Liepāja contains ornate wooden and Art Nouveau buildings, cafés, markets and cultural venues. The Great Amber concert hall reflects the city’s long musical identity and provides one of its most recognisable modern landmarks.
North of the centre, Karosta preserves the remains of a vast former military port. The district includes fortifications, the striking St Nicholas Naval Cathedral and unusual historical sites that give Liepāja a distinctive edge.
Stena Line operates the direct Liepāja–Travemünde ferry route. Current route information describes an overnight Baltic crossing of about 21 hours 30 minutes, providing a valuable passenger and vehicle link between Latvia and northern Germany.
