Jurmala - voyage in the "City on the Wave"

I've been to different cities.

And he saw the city, and the river,

If the sea, then with a big wave!

• Romantic Riga seaside: white sand of a wide beach, soft gentle sun, surf noise and pine rustle.

• All this is dear to the heart of every resident. I want to share my love, so I offer a tour to the “City on the Wave”. Although Jurmala is located on the shores of the Gulf of Riga, not the open sea, we call it the “Sea Pearl”.

• You will hear about this and much more on a leisurely walk through the streets of Yomas and Juras. We will see the wooden architecture of the resort city - unique villas decorated with countless turrets. You will be amazed by the history of the owners of Villa Benjamin, so impregnable, mysterious and magnificent. You will rest and laugh from the heart at the famous turtle and a huge globe.

• And also: the mysteries of Morberg Castle, the equestrian statue of the Russian Tsar, the search for the place where the famous restaurant “Juras Perle” was located, and of course, souvenirs, restaurants and cafes.

• You can get acquainted with the history of the resort at the local museum (completely free!).

• Fans of everything unusual will be fascinated by Yermolaev’s paintings, made in a unique technique of light painting.
• We Rigans are somehow used to the fact that the sea is near us. Twenty minutes and you are already in Jurmala. Therefore, you can go on an excursion even by train.
