Additional Information

Jurmala, positioned conveniently near Latvia’s capital, Riga, is the largest seaside vacation city found on the Baltic Sea. Its unique charm is a result of the sea, a vast 30-kilometer beach, and charming wooden architecture. Notably, Jurmala’s wooden structures, characterized by decorative towers, sun-filled verandas and intricately carved wood, set it apart. These houses started cropping up in the mid-19th century, when urban dwellers began flocking to Jurmala for summer vacations. Today, Jurmala remains a distinct attraction in every season. While summer sees it bustling with typical beach resort activities, spring and fall attract visitors looking for a tranquil retreat amidst nature, to enhance their health and rejuvenate. During winter, the city hums with festive anticipation in the run-up to Christmas.

Lovely Tour to Jurmala - We had a very enjoyable day exploring Jurmala with Armands. He is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, was flexible in ensuring that we were doing the things that we wanted to do, and answered all of our many questions throughout the day. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which saved us time and hassle, which we really appreciated. Armands is proud of his wonderful country and a great ambassador for it.
