Ventspils, Port city in northwestern Latvia
Ventspils sits at the mouth of the Venta River, featuring an ice-free harbor that handles significant maritime traffic throughout the Baltic Sea region.
The Livonian Order constructed a castle in 1290, establishing Ventspils as a strategic trade center within the Hanseatic League network of merchant cities.
The Sea Festival in July brings together maritime traditions, local music performances, and craft demonstrations that reflect the Baltic heritage of the region.
The city maintains direct ferry connections to Sweden and Germany, while its port processes substantial quantities of oil and mineral shipments from Eastern Europe.
The Adventure Park operates year-round with a skiing slope during winter months and transforms into an outdoor activity center during summer seasons.
