Top Parks in Latvia

I recommend checking out the trails early in the morning, like around 7 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can soak in the beauty without the hustle.

Don’t forget to bring snacks and water. I thought I could grab something at the visitor center, but it was closed when I got there. A packed lunch is a must!

I suggest wearing good hiking shoes. The paths can get a bit tricky and muddy, especially after rain. I slipped a couple of times and it wasn’t fun!

Check out the waterfall at Sietiņiezis. It's super picturesque, but go at sunset for the best light. I wish I’d known that for better photos

I recommend heading there around 8 AM. The park is stunningly quiet and you'll avoid the crowds that show up by noon.

Check out the birdwatching towers. The views are amazing, but the paths to them can get muddy. I recommend wearing good boots to avoid slipping.

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.

I recommend visiting Bastion Hill in the late afternoon around 4 PM. The light is gorgeous for photos and it's less crowded, so you can really relax and enjoy the scenery.

Don't miss the fountain area! It’s usually less busy and perfect for a peaceful break. I sat there for a while just enjoying the music and watching the water.

Bring a good pair of walking shoes. The paths are quite nice but there's a lot to explore and you don’t want your feet to hurt halfway through!
