RigaYour day begins with a comfortable drive from Riga in an air-conditioned minibus. We drive east, watching the flat plains give way to rolling hills and pine forest. I'll share stories about the Gauja Valley, the Livonian Order, and why this region feels like a different country.
-
CesisArtisan Bread Maker A hands-on visit to a traditional Latvian bread maker. Tour the bakery, learn about dark rye bread's sacred place in Latvian culture, and taste it warm from the oven.
-
Cesis Medieval CastleA walk through old Cesis, then into the medieval Livonian Order castle. You explore the towers by candlelight with a lantern in your hand, the way it would have been in the 13th century, not under museum floodlights.
-
CesisLunch in Cesis Relaxed lunch at a local Latvian cafeteria. Hearty, traditional food at local prices. You pay directly, I'll guide you through the menu.
-
Castle Of The Livonian Order In SiguldaWe then visit a local brewery, where you’ll learn about Latvian brewing traditions and enjoy a tasting before the drive back to Riga.
-
Sigulda New CastleThe atmospheric ruins of medieval Sigulda Castle and the neighbouring New Castle museum with excellent exhibits on the region's history.
-
Gauja National ParkA quick stop at the famous photography vantage point. Spectacular in any season, extraordinary in autumn.
-
Turaida CastleRed-brick Turaida Castle from the 13th century, looking out over the Gauja from its hillside. We climb the tower for the view, walk the sculpture garden, and visit the old wooden church and the restored folk buildings on the estate. This is where I’d slow the pace if we could, the late-afternoon light on the valley is the quiet highlight of the day.
-
RigaBack in Riga by early evening, with a head full of castles, the taste of dark bread, and the feeling that you've seen a Latvia most visitors never discover.
