If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of ideas. Sitting 40 miles away, Ventspils is worth hopping in the car for. Ventspils Beach, New Town Square and Livonian Order Castle alone justify the drive. Don’t skip Jurmala either! Just 60 miles away, Kemeri National Park, Kmeri Forest house and Sulphur Water Spring Lizzard are essential stops here.
