Liepājnieki (people from Liepāja) are quick to point out that this beautiful walkway along the canal was once off limits during Soviet times. Perhaps the temptation to set sail for Sweden frightened the local party bosses. Today, you can take a stroll and look at the ships and yachts moored here or take a tour of the harbour. Other sites of interest include a huge hourglass filled with amber instead of sand and a fountain that’s supposed to look like a wave. There are also pubs, shops, galleries and clubs along the Promenade.
