The Venta waterfall, Europe's widest waterfall, is a major natural attraction in Kuldīga, Latvia, offering free access year-round. It is easily accessible on foot from the town center, with pathways and viewing points suitable for most visitors. While perfectly enjoyable for solo exploration, guided tours of Kuldīga often include the waterfall, providing historical context about the town and the famous adjacent brick bridge. The waterfall is particularly renowned for the 'flying fish' phenomenon during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) spawning seasons, making these times highly recommended for a visit, though it is scenic in all seasons (even when iced over in winter). A typical visit to view the falls ranges from 30 minutes to an hour, but can extend if combined with exploring the charming Kuldīga Old Town and the brick bridge. There are no direct costs for viewing the waterfall itself, though parking or guided tours would be additional expenses.
