Tourism in Ventspils

Hotels in ventspils.

Ventspils - A city where they respect the past, think about tomorrow and work efficiently today.

Ventspils is a family-friendly city opening up various possibilities both for families living here, and visitors with children from other cities and countries. Harmony between the modern port, innovative plants and factories, and the beautiful and tidy beach that has been flying the Blue Flag since 1999 makes Ventspils a very special place.

Ventspils is a city that won't leave you indifferent! It is like a small country within a country. There is no need to travel outside Latvia to feel a breath of Europe – you will find everything in Ventspils where even time is counted differently and where flowers, in spite of rhythms of life dictated by nature, break into blossom earlier than in other places of Latvia, and holidaymakers can enjoy an easy walk along city's cobbled streets. Ventspils is a capital of flowers and fountains ; all over the city (even in electrical posts) you can find colourful cow sculptures, but streets, parks, squares and courtyards are decorated with flower sculptures, figurative flower compositions and tasteful flowerbeds. Ventspils is in unwithering bloom even during the hottest summer days.

Welcome to Ventspils, a city with a promising future!

Visit breweries and cider houses

When traveling around Latvia, we recommend enjoying it with all your senses – not only to see and get to know the beauty of smaller and larger towns, but also to taste them. And where better to enjoy it than in breweries and cider houses?

Riga and its surroundings

Riga Beer District

In the 19th century, Riga was a brewing city. By joining their forces, ten Latvian breweries decided to restore the fame of the ancient Northern European citadel for brewing and create the Riga Beer District . Ten pubs, ten different stories and experiences – beer lovers have the opportunity to visit them individually or on specially designed beer tours accompanied by an enthusiastic guide. At four stops, Latvian craft beer varieties are enjoyed together with delicious snacks. And the employees at the small pubs are happy to explain how craft beer is made. Great entertainment for a group of friends or a group of up to 10 people.

Brewery "Labietis"

Brewery "Labietis" uses more than 20 different medicinal plants collected in Latvia, local honey, more than 10 types of berries and fruits collected in Latvia, as well as barley, wheat and rye malts mostly grown in Latvia.

Do you want to explore the raw materials, learn about the brewing process and taste the brews straight from the tank? Apply for a tour of the brewery. Learn more about the compatibility of contemporary, exciting and seasonal beers with food, nuances about and around it, from Labieš's storyteller when you book a tasting.

Brewery Nurme

The story of Nurme Brewery is special. In 2020, a crowdfunding campaign was organized, in which fans and supporters of this beer proved that Nurme needs a brewery location of its own! Raising the necessary funds, the industrial brick pearl built in 1900 on Vagonu Street is now turning into the Nurme Brewery District. 

Brewery Užavas alus

The small village of Užava is located 27 km from Ventspils, and this is where you will find the  Užava Brewery , founded in 1994. Water is crucial to make delicious beer, and thanks to the high water quality, Užava was chosen as the most suitable place for beer production. Besides tasting and buying beer on-site, the brewery offers tours about the history, beer brewing and much more.
