Jurmala, a seaside city and resort in Latvia, is well known for its natural resources – curative mud, mineral waters and pine forest.
The almost 25 km-long white sand beach, well-landscaped for all, will allow everyone to find an undisturbed place for sunbathing and swimming. One of the most popular beaches there is Majori Beach – only 30 minutes from Riga city centre. The traditional Resort Festival of Jūrmala celebrates the beginning of summer all day long. You can enjoy the “Ice Cream Festival”, the unique international street dance competition “Ghetto Dance Hardcore Battle”, various concerts, and a festive procession. Although Jurmala is well known to everyone, rarely has anybody been to Jurmala’s hidden treasure – the Open Air Museum. It is difficult to imagine that Jūrmala was a fishing village only a few decades ago. After visiting the museum, we recommend walking in the nearby Ragakāpa Nature Park, where there is a particularly beautiful pine forest.
