Aparthotels and serviced apartments suit Liepaja because the city rewards a longer stay: a long sandy beach, Art Nouveau buildings, a concert hall and the former military town of Karosta each deserve their own day. A kitchen helps if you are visiting for a festival season or for work, and extra space suits families. Wikipedia describes Liepāja as the largest city in the Courland region and the third-largest in Latvia after Riga and Daugavpils. For the format, see what is an aparthotel.

Karosta

  • history
  • photography
  • day trips

Wikipedia describes Karosta as a former Soviet military district now part of the city, with the St Nicholas Naval Cathedral built between 1901 and 1903. Wikivoyage describes a former secret Soviet military town with northern forts and a military prison that now welcomes tourists. It suits visitors interested in history, though it is a separate district north of the centre.

Getting around Liepaja

Wikivoyage says buses connect Liepāja to Riga several times a day in about 3 to 3.75 hours, that a train also runs between the cities, and that minibuses serve Klaipėda in Lithuania and a ferry runs to Germany. It also says the airport lost its only commercial route in 2020. Latvia's tourism site says the city has road and rail connections, an airport used for private flights and ferry service to Germany. Check current rail and bus timetables before you travel.

Within the city, Wikivoyage lists trams, buses, minibuses and taxis, and says a tram ride from the centre to the station takes about 8 minutes. The old town and the Seaside Park are close enough to walk between, and Karosta is a separate district that you would travel to by public transport or by road.

Living in Liepaja for longer

The city's cultural life is a draw for longer stays: Latvia's tourism site says around 200 cultural, entertainment and sports events take place every month. A kitchen suits longer visits, and choosing a base in the old town keeps restaurants and shops on foot.

Wikivoyage says Latvian and Russian are commonly spoken, with English widespread among younger residents. Our guide to serviced apartments for relocation has general questions to ask when planning a stay of a month or more.
