Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Beach
Plage de Majori
In Majori, Jūrmala It combines its lively pedestrian street, its wooden villas and a large sandy beach lined with low dunes. The sea often remains shallow, sunsets attract walkers, and it is easily passed from cafes to pines and then to the shore.
Place indismissible
Parc forestier de Dzintari
The forest park of Dzintari slides footbridges, games and observation tower in a pine forest just behind the beach. It offers a fresh breath between two swims, with suspended paths, family areas and a view of the pine trees rather than the built seafront.
Museum
Musée de plein air de Jūrmala
