At sunny week-ends local residents and visitors of Ventspils like to walk down Ostas street along the River Venta; other popular places are the fountain «Boats of The Sun» and the tidy and modern city centre. During summers the most popular spot is the city beach, that has been awarded the.

Blue Flag. The city parks and squares are nice places for having a chat.

Some people might love to have good time at the skate-park, but children gather at the Children’s Town (the Children’s Recreation park).

A classic restaurant Vilnis is located in the hotel’s premises on the right bank of the Venta.

Venta. Before travelling round Ventspils district, it is advisable to do shopping in these shopping centres, as the range of goods supplied in the shops outside Ventspils is not so wide. The rest part of the city, especially its central part, is spotted by various small shops.

Market.

Ventspils has several under-roof markets with a wide range of goods sold at comparatively low prices.

Co-operation.
