Revel in the pride of Latvia’s third largest city, a place locals call ‘the city where the wind is born’. A popular Baltic coast resort since the Russian czar’s frequent visits in the 1860s, Liepaja boasts an unusually diverse menu of attractions that range from WWI and WWII relics to white sand beaches to a music walk of fame. Urban explorers and history buffs will marvel at the countless bunkers, cannons and ruined residences of Karosta, a massive military complex with ties to both Tsarist and Soviet Russia. Build an appetite for cod fish – the local specialty – while walking pristine Blue Flag Beach. In town visit Holy Trinity Cathedral and stroll the Latvian Musicians’ Walk of Fame.
