There is so much to see in the city that there is actually no need to get out. Nature is everywhere, even within the city: those are not just artificially planted city parks. There are also absolutely unspoiled and natural beaches, forests and meadows near the Liepaja lake. There are some swamps, but they are not that accessible. You can visit special swamp trails in Liepaja region, as well as even bigger and denser forests. You might want to go to other towns and villages. In addition to Riga Latvia's capitol, an excursion to Kuldiga about 100 km away is highly recommended; there you will find Europeâs widest waterfall.
Riga the capital of Latvia, 220 km. Ventspils is a very nice town just 110 km north from Liepaja. It is also on the Baltic coast, has many things to see, and is one of the tidiest towns in the region, which gets its prosperity from the huge Ventspils harbor and oil transit business.
