Karosta Prison , Liepaja

Take your day to the next level at Karosta Prison, where you may go behind bars on a guided tour or firsthand if you're brave enough. The facility, which was once a death-row jail from which no one ever escaped, now recreates the mood of tsarist days. The damp chambers where the detainees spent their days provide insight into their circumstances, and the offices and canteen may be toured. The museum is well-known across the world for its unusual tourist attraction: spending the night in a cell and being treated like a prisoner. Choose your kind of torture and spend the night being verbally tormented, punished, and haunted by the souls of ex-convicts.

Karosta Prison is Europe's only military prison that welcomes visitors. It is known as the world's most odd and surprise hotel. The structure was built with the intention of serving as a military hospital, although it was never utilized for that purpose. It was converted into a correctional facility for short-term disciplinary action. The structure served as a jail until 1997, when the final inmates were released. Nobody had ever escaped from the jail during this period.

Only a guided tour of Karosta Prison is presently available. During the trip, tourists will view the jail, which has remained virtually unchanged since the Tsar's reign, learn about its history, explore the prison cells and the solitary confinement cell, and hear intriguing and eerie anecdotes about prison life.
