If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Sitting 25 miles away, Jelgava is worth jumping in the car for. Among your first few stops here should be Jelgava Palace, St. Simeon and St. Anna Orthodox Church and Academica Petrina. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Dobele Municipality, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Dobele Castle. (But we’re also big fans of Dobele Lutheran Church and Dobele Liberation Monument.)
