Beach bound

Riga may have dropped its prices to lure tourists into its hotels and restaurants, but that’s nothing compared to the deals you can find in Liepāja – a hip coastal city with cheap design hotels, 24-hour clubs and cafés and food and drink prices that will make you think you’ve travelled back in time. Explore beautiful beaches, medieval churches, tsarist era fortifications and an abandoned prison that Ghost Hunters International declared one of the most paranormally active sites they had ever encountered.
If you’d rather be pampered by professionals than need a Pampers at a haunted house, take a half hour train ride to the nation’s summer capital – the traditional seaside spa town of Jūrmala. Walk along white sandy beaches, relax with a cold drink at a summer terrace on Jomas iela or book some time for a massage, a facial or a healing treatment at one of the city’s numerous spas.

  • Lord Pub
    In the good old days, circa 1998, Lord's pub, aka Groks, was an ok place, a dirty little crowded bar packed with hot russian chicks and stupid bozos downstairs, with greasy seating and menu upstairs. Not a bad place, and the worst you could expe[...]
  • Pablo Tapas Bar
    This place is definitely inexpensive, but don't expect authentic or even remotely Spanish tapas! The menu consists mainly of Russian style zakuski with the occasional olive. The food wasn't bad at all, but the service was typically abysmal.N[...]
