Liepaja

A 3 km, 50-hectare wooded strip planted with 170 tree species, separating the Old Town from the Baltic dunes. Leashed dogs welcome on every path.

Seven kilometres of Blue Flag sand, one of the cleanest beaches in northern Europe. Leashed dogs allowed outside the marked bathing zone, year-round.

Built 1742 to 1758, houses the world's largest unreconstructed mechanical organ (131 stops, 7 000+ pipes). No dogs inside, but the square and 55 m tower exterior are open.

Europe's only military prison open to tourists, guided tours every hour. No dogs inside, exterior complex and Karosta streets walkable on leash.

Deserted beach beyond the former Soviet naval port, empty even in July. Leash in principle per city ordinance, off-leash tolerated in practice.

Heart of the Old Town, planted with hundreds of rose bushes in summer. Café terraces all around, leashed dogs welcome outdoors.
