With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Daugavpils, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Daugavpils Fortress, Daugavpils Central Park and Daugavpils TV Tower. Locals will also probably point you toward Rezekne, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Castle Ruins. (But we’d also recommend St. Nicholas Old-Believers Church and Art House.)
