This city of 44,000 inhabitants is at mouth of the Venta River that flows into the Baltic Sea. Its ice-free, world-class port is one of the major transit hubs between East and West.
Ventspils also is proud of the cleanest streets and smoothest driving surfaces in the country. It is known as the brightest city in Latvia, with not a single unlighted street or square at dark. During the summer months, attractive water fountains and flower arrangements abound in the city to please local people and visitors.
