Jūrmala Essentials

Jūrmala’s identity is defined by its 26-kilometer stretch of white-sand beaches and historic wooden architecture. This selection covers the cultural heart of the resort, from the "Inner Light" luminescent gallery to the Dubulti Art Station, housed in a functional railway terminal. Visitors can explore the legacy of Latvian poets Rainis and Aspazija at dedicated memorial sites, alongside iconic bronze sculptures like the Majori Turtle and the Lāčplesis monument, which mark the transition from the seaside to the town's garden parks.
