Itinerary
During the drive to Kuldiga, you can observe the beauty of Latvian countryside and several small towns. One of the places we recommend to stop by is the town of Sabile. This small town is known for the variety of wines locally produced. Sabile Wine Hill has even been included in the Guinness World Record Book as the most northerly vineyard in the world. You will have the chance to taste cider and wines produced in Sabile.
Kuldiga is known for its well preserved historic wooden buildings from the 17th-18th century, narrow streets and romantic atmosphere. Historically, this town has been popular amongst many Latvian poets and painters as a place to seek inspiration. Although Kuldiga is getting more and more popular among tourists, it is still considered a great destination for people who want to escape “mass tourism”. Besides the previously mentioned, there are a lot of small, cosy shops and cafes all around the town.
Venta waterfall, located right next to the center of Kuldiga is the widest waterfall in Europe (249 m). During spring and autumn it offers an amazing sight - salmon jumping up the waterfall to spawn. Locals call it the phenomenon of flying salmon. Near the waterfall is one of the oldest and widest brick stone bridges in Latvia that crosses the river.
Around 5km from Kuldiga you can also visit Sand Caves of Riezupe. Sand from the caves has been used to manufacture glass - the sand is as white and clean as sugar. Temperature in the caves is constant all year long - eight degrees celsius. The caves have been constructed for fourth generations, currently 2km long of which 460m are available for exploring.

Riga was founded in 1201 and grew rich as a Hanseatic trading port on the Daugava River. Its old town, listed by UNESCO, has cobbled lanes around the Dome Cathedral, with a famous organ, and the spire of St Peter's Church, which has a viewing platform. The House of the Blackheads, a gabled merchants' guild hall, and the Three Brothers, among the oldest houses in the city, stand in the heart of the old town.
