Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Talsi
Talsi floor on its hills around two lakes, with steep streets, wooden houses and viewpoints that are revealed by surprise. The city savors itself better by walking from one bank to another, between small squares, workshops, cafes and silhouettes of bell towers.
Place indismissible
Colline viticole de Sabile
In Sabile, the vineyard hill is astonished by its simple rank of vines hanging over the valley of the Abava. More than just a decor, it recalls a tradition obstinate at this latitude, with a panorama of the roofs, gardens and curves of the river.
Place indismissible
Parc naturel de la vallée de l’Abava
The Abava Valley has a soft countryside, made up of meadows, woods, cliffs and small towns such as Sabile or Kandava. Secondary roads, trails and river descents give several ways to approach this landscape, particularly alive in spring and early autumn.
