Liepāja International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Liepāja International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Liepāja airport is 5 km from the centre, a 10-15 minute taxi ride: since 2020 it has had no regular scheduled flights, apart from a brief charter interlude in summer 2024, and today it lives mainly on private aviation, charters and airBaltic's pilot academy. Those who do arrive on a private or charter flight still find a genuine seaside town, with a well-preserved centre and a Baltic beach just a few minutes away: no hotels near the airport, the choice has to be made in town, between the historic centre and the seafront area.
Centre
City centre · 10-15 minutes by taxi from the airport; no regular direct bus, given the airport's limited traffic.
Best for: Travellers who want Rose Square and the city museum within walking distance.
Pros
- Rose Square and the Liepāja Museum reachable on foot from your room
- The area with the most restaurants and cafés in the city, open even out of season
Cons
- Beach about 10 minutes on foot, not directly on the sea
- No direct public transport to the airport, a taxi is always needed
Recommended hotels in this area
- Amrita Hotel: On Rīgas street, in the heart of the centre: terrace and inner garden, breakfast among the most praised features in the reviews.

Seafront
Neighbourhood · 15-20 minutes by taxi from the airport; from the city centre, 10-15 minutes on foot or a few minutes by city bus.
Best for: Travellers who want the beach a few minutes' walk away and accept being a bit further from the historic centre.
Pros
- 4 minutes on foot from Rose Square but already close to the Baltic's sandy beach
- A quiet residential area, away from the traffic of the centre
Cons
- Fewer restaurants on the immediate streets compared with the centre
- Small property, with few rooms available on summer weekends
Recommended hotels in this area
- AmberHome: 4 minutes on foot from Rose Square and a few hundred metres from the Museum of Liepāja, with free private parking.
