If you find yourself with a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 17 miles, take a look at Jelgava. This lively place offers up a world of things to keep you occupied. Among your first few stops here ought to be Jelgava Palace, St. Simeon and St. Anna Orthodox Church and Academica Petrina. Locals will also probably point you toward Dobele Municipality, 18 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Dobele Castle. (But we’d also recommend Dobele Lutheran Church and Dobele Liberation Monument.)
