Leave Riga for a full-day circuit through Kurzeme: medieval Kuldīga, the massive Ventas Rumba waterfall, Pedvāle open-air art, Sabile village and sandstone caves. Small-group guides highlight hidden corners and local stories.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning shuttle leaves Riga and, within the soft rise and fall of Kurzeme fields, the van threads toward a town where the river claims the street. Arriving in Kuldīga, the Venta River pushes at the town’s edge and the broad sweep of Ventas Rumba — Europe’s widest waterfall — dominates the scene, misting the air and daring visitors to step closer to the old wooden facades.
