About Renting a Car at Center

Liepāja is Latvia's third-largest city and called 'the city that created the wind' – known for its music scene, Baltic Sea coast, and the unique military area of Karosta. Two rental companies are in the city center, perfect for exploring the Latvian west coast south toward Lithuania or north toward Ventspils. Riga is 220 km northeast, about 2.5 hours via the A9.

The city center is around Rožu laukums and Liela iela, 2 km from the 5 km-long sandy beach. Liepāja Airport (LPX) is 7 km northeast of the city center. The Karosta district with its Gothic seamen's church and prison hotel is 5 km north along the coast.

Rent a car and drive south along the Baltic Sea coast toward Nida in Lithuania – one of Europe's most beautiful coastal roads with dunes and pine forests. Visit Karosta in the evening when the historic military area is most atmospheric. Fill up in Liepāja before driving north – the next major petrol station is in Pāvilosta, 35 km away.

How far is it from Liepāja to Riga? About 220 km via the A9 motorway, taking approximately 2.5 hours. Can I drive the rental car to Lithuania from Liepāja?

Yes, the Lithuanian border is 110 km south. Check that the rental company allows driving in Lithuania when booking. Where are the rental stations located in Liepāja city center?
