Description
Depart from Riga to Jurmala, Latvia’s only official resort town known for its curative mud, mineral waters, and pine forests. Relax on Majori beach, a 25-kilometer stretch of white sand ideal for swimming and sunbathing.
Walk along Jomas Street, one of Jurmala’s oldest thoroughfares, lined with historic wooden villas recognized for their architectural significance. Visit the Jurmala Open Air Museum, showcasing over 2,000 exhibits about Latvian fishermen’s lives and work during the 19th and 20th centuries. Explore the fisherman's court and participate in a hands-on rope-making and net-matching workshop.
After the museum, stroll through Ragakapa Nature Park, a unique wind-formed sand dune area. Then continue to Kemeri National Park, where you can walk along swamp trails on either a short or long boardwalk. Spot the Sundew plant, a carnivorous species with sticky tentacles, and observe local birdlife such as wood sandpipers and white wagtails.
Learn about the park’s raised bog ecosystem, which contains sulphurous mineral waters emerging from open springs. This provides a distinct natural experience combining landscape, biodiversity, and geological features.
