Sunday is the day when all cafes, restaurants, museums work only a half of a day.
In a nutshell
One of the highlights of lovely Latvia!
Carletto76 Says: Kuldīgas Tiesa is the district court of Kuldīga, built in the 19th century in the historical centre of the town - in the territory of the Livonian order castle built in 1242.In this building since the time it was built, seven political governments ( the government...
Carletto76 Says: Kuldīga old Town-square was mentioned in the 17th century as a marketplace. Earlier in the 20th century, wagon-based trade was still be transacted. The court pharmacy in Baznica street 10 is the only building in Kuldīga built according to the German patchwork...
Carletto76 Says: Liepājas Iela is a pedestrian street with several 17th – 20th century buildings showing the development of different architectural styles. An original feature of every house is its entrance door and skylight windows above it which are the characteristics exclusive...
PeteNL Says: Take your time to enjoy the scenery, watching Venta river from the bridge - the wide (not high!) waterfall is a famous site within Latvia, but the part of the river downstream is also worth a look. And from the many visitors around, also well worth having a swim, or trying...
Raimix Says: Waterfall of Venta seems to be the longest waterfall in Europe (different width in different sources of information – it is about 240 – 250 meters). Actually I think you could be a bit disappointed, as waterfall is just long, but not high one – probably about 0,5 meters...
Longest brick bridge in Latvia
Raimix Says: Brick bridge across Venta river was built in 1874. It is as famous as waterfall, again, because of European record. Actually it is said it could be one of the longest such type bridges in Europe. The width of bridge was made as for standards of 19th century – two carriages...
Kuldiga's old mill's waterfall
Raimix Says: Old mill is known from 13th century, it served needs of Livonian castle. It is hard to say if mills construction could be the same now, 700 - 800 years old. Anyway, mill is more popular for its waterfall, 4,2 meters high.The waterfall belongs to much smaller river than Venta...
Visit the mighty waterfalls of Kuldiga
CatherineReichardt Says: Kuldiga has the impressive-sounding distinction of being home to both Latvia’s highest and widest waterfalls. However, to put in into context, it has to be said that Latvia is a very flat country indeed, so these terms are relative! The towering Aleksupite waterfall turns...
Relax in the beautiful woodland sculpture park
CatherineReichardt Says: A lovely but unpretentious sculpture park has been established in woodland just by the Venta River. It is a treat to have the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of imaginative sculpture appealingly presented, and on a hot summer day, the dappled shade would be a welcome...
bonio Says: Impressive sight, visited at dusk by us so my photos don't do justice.
bonio Says: The main street, decorated for a forthcoming festival while we visited, shopping opportunities too.
1 Review and 2 Opinions Only one night stay, but very enjoyable all the same. Easy to find, close to the town centre, warm...
Kafejnica Rumba: Kafejnica Rumba
bonio Says: Just outside the museum and park, an outdoor bar with great views over the waterfall. A couple of beers for us on a very warm day, lovely.Also serves food and looked very good too.
bonio Says: Also a good hotel, we chose to eat here too. Interesting menu and well cooked food. Friendly welcome .Mrs Bonio happy with vegetarian choices too.We'd be happy to revisit here one day,
bonio Says: If you don't have a car bus is the way to Kuldiga. There are good links to Riga, Liepaja and Ventspils. The main bus station (Autoosta) is about a 15 minute walk from the centre, it's easier to buy tickets here if you don't speak any Latvian, most buses do stop closer to the...
Bus Station, not so close to the centre
Carletto76 Says: Kuldīga's bus station (auto osta) is quite far from the town centre, at Stacijas 2.As you can see on the picture, all you see from there is green, scattered houses and also an abandoned factory, quite a desolating view! But don't worry, you can go to the town centre in...
PeteNL Says: Latvia has several old houses and castles, a very old but quite original one is Edole pils, in Edole village, Kuldigas rajons.It was in the process of being restored in the summer of 2002, with the inside of most rooms quite barren. But you can get a good impression of a...
Raimix Says: Ventspils is the six largest towns in Latvia, with a population of about 43000. The place location is a junction of two waters – Baltic Sea and Venta river. The place was mentioned in 13th century first as a place for Livonian castle. It was characte4rised as quite big port...
Raimix Says: It is quite interesting attraction for people who visit Kuldiga region and Latvia. Actually it is sand tunnels to walk with candles and listen interesting stories, play games. Nowadays it is about 450 meters of tunnels is suitable for tourists. Tunnels were dig in 1880 when...
Raimix Says: Despite of Kuldiga’s main river is Venta, it has some channels around, like in Venice or Amsterdam. Of course, these are different ones, much more narrow. One of these smaller streams of water is Aleksupite.So, if you ever hear of Latvian Venice town, think about Kuldiga.
Ventas rumba, the widest waterfall in Europe.
moonlight279 Says: If you are in Kuldiga, don't forget to visit Ventas Rumba - the main sight in Kuldīga , a 240-meter wide natural waterfall which is possibly the widest in Europe.The old brick bridge across the Venta built in 1874 is one of the longest its type of bridges in Europe. The...
