It best to go to Ventspils in summer, in August, when the sea is warm, and the weather is good and sunny. The most amazing thing is, it is very, very clean, and cared about. It is also good in summer, because that's when the celebrations start, such as the City Day, the day of Ventspils. You can eat lots of food, and have lots of fun, and buy ...

A fun place to go over the weekend. Great nightlife, nice bars and clubs.
The local beer is enjoyable and not expensive.
The people treat you with hospitality and appear to be genuinely happy to have foreigners visiting their likable city.
