Jurmala Beach

I have had heard about the long beach of Jurmala, but still I couldn't belive how gorgeous it is. I traveled to Jurmala on late September, but it was still warm, +23 and it was a really nice trip. I stayed there and if you don't want to accommodate in Riga, Jurmala is a good option. Train and busses take you to Riga in 20 minutes and costs like 0,5 euros.
Jurmala is peaceful safe recreational area wiht expensive private villas. Lately they have invest to high-quality hotels too, so travelers can enjoy the secrets of this traditional spa town.

Majori

Main street. You will find all the necessirites from here. Houses are low and cute, very well kept. There is some nice shops and restaurants along this street. Some good boutiques too, but prices are mostly higher than in Riga.

Train Station

You can easily acces Jurmala by train from Riga.
