Ostas Street Promenade, Ventspils
Ostas Street Promenade is a beloved place for walks both by Ventspils residents, as well as visitors of the city.
From one side, it is enclosed by the River Venta and Ventspils Port businesses, from the other – by historic buildings and tourism objects. You can see the city from the water by taking a 45 minute long cruise along the port and the mouth of the Venta River on a tour boat called “Duke Jacob” (Hercogs Jēkabs).
