Sunbathe on Liepaja beach

The 8 km long strip along the Baltic coast is a great place to enjoy warm summer days. This beach is an excellent spot to go looking for amber. We recommend challenging yourself and taking the most epic photo you can with the "Liepaja" sign located right by the shore.

See the Northern forts

In Battery No. 3, which is part of Liepaja Fortress, you will find a building that is very popular with photographers because it has been submerged in the sea. The most important part of Liepaja Naval Fortress is Redans, where the most decisive freedom fights for the independence of Latvia took place, defending Liepaja against Bermont's troops. Whereas Battery No. 2 is the most impressive part of the fortification, which has survived to the present day and can be seen from the inside with the accompaniment of a guide.
