Located on the southwest coast of Latvia, bordering the Baltic Sea, Liepaja is one of very few ice-free ports in operation around the Baltic region. The port is served as a gateway to Western Europe, with two weekly crossings lasting around 27 hours to Travemunde in Germany. Liepaja is a port city with aesthetics unlike many other cities across the globe; the streets are littered with red-brick warehouses, a historic prison is the most popular attraction and yet it is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The summer months are particularly spectacular, the city comes alive with the sun shining down on the abundance of alternative musicians that have become synonymous with Liepaja. Away from the buzz of the city centre, Pape Nature Park is only a 30 minute drive and provides the chance to witness captivating wildlife. The Karosta prison is somewhat of a must-see when visiting Liepaja; the extraordinarily grim interior was designed with the intention to break the prisoners’ spirit and suppress any feeling of freedom. There are tours available to sample miserable prisoner life, including a live show based on true stories from the life of a previous inmate. For the truly fearless, there is also an opportunity to spend a night in one of the cells, taking on the role of an inmate. The main forms of public transport around Liepaja are the bus and tram service, both offering pivotal transport connections. It is possible to buy tickets from the driver, but cheaper to book them in advance. To access the port via public transport, the railway station is situated within walking distance of the port.
Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck located at the mouth of river Trave into Lübeck Bay. Travemünde arose out of a stronghold placed here by Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, in the 12th century to guard the mouth of the Trave, and the Danes subsequently strengthened it. It became a town in 1317 and in 1329 passed into the possession of the free city of Lübeck, to which it has since belonged. Its fortifications were demolished in 1807. Travemünde is an old seaside resort (since 1802) and Germany's largest ferry port on the Baltic Sea with destinations to Sweden, Finland and other baltic countries. Annually, some 1 million passengers pass through the Travemünde Skandinavienkai ferry terminal as the starting point or destination of their trip across the Baltic Sea. The terminal is also the contact point for a number of impressive cruise ships from all over the world.
