With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Daugavpils, 19 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Daugavpils Fortress, Daugavpils Central Park and Daugavpils TV Tower. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Rezekne, 45 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Castle Ruins. (But we’re also huge fans of St. Nicholas Old-Believers Church and Art House.)
