Yomas Street

Jomas - the central street of Jurmala - translated from Latvian means "sand waves". The street was founded in the late XIX century and is one of the oldest streets in the city. This pedestrian street is the hallmark of Jurmala. There are many restaurants and cafes for every taste. The street stretches from Majori railway station to Jurmala globe. Every year, various concerts, attractions and competitions are held on Yomas Street. Once Yomas Street began at the current intersection of Lienes and Jomas behind the square of the Mayori station. In 1936, Rigas Street was shortened due to a change in street names and Jomas was extended to the border of the Maiori district. In 1999, the street was renamed Pushkin Street for some time, but then the name was returned, and it has survived to this day.
