Top Trekking Hiking in Latvia

Think about bringing a refillable water bottle. The heat can sneak up on you during hikes, and it's way cheaper than buying bottled water inside. I had to pay way too much for a small bottle.

I suggest downloading a map or trail app before heading out; cell service can be spotty and getting lost is no fun. Trust me, I learned that the hard way!

If you're into history, don’t skip the Turaida Castle. The entrance fee is reasonable and the views are stunning. I thought I'd skip it, but it turned out to be a highlight!

Bring your own water and snacks! The little kiosks charge a lot for drinks, and you’ll want energy for all the hiking. I learned that the hard way.
