KurzemeRiga

KurzemeWESTERN LATVIA

The people of Kurzeme (“Kurzemnieki”) have valued their culture and history through the centuries. They not only work hard but enjoy good relaxation and tasty food. Kurzemnieki are proud Latvians who honour their culture and values.

Travellers can see unique historic and natural objects as well as try special food, typical of the Kurzeme region. It is also possible to participate in food preparation. To those who would like traditional culture we recomend events at Zvanītāji house in Rucava. For excitement try medieval ac-tivities at Jaunpils castle.

You can learn everything about the lives of fishermen at Piejūra outdoor museum in Ventspils. In order to see how fish jump across the widest waterfall in Europe you must go to Kuldiga. Find out how films are made at Cinevilla in Tukums region or visit Europe's northernmost vineyard in Sabile. But for the sweetest candies in Latvia, Saldus is the palce to go.
