The small town of Tukums is nestled between Riga and the Baltic Sea in the picturesque Kurzeme region of Latvia – an ideal destination for an interesting day-trip from Riga. Some of the rather special activities you can join in Tukums include visiting “Cinevilla,” an old film set-turned-tourist attraction where you can get dressed up in various costumes and learn about cinematography. A tour of Durbes Castle will educate you about Latvian history and culture and includes a visit to a ceramics workshop. At the Laci Bakery, you can see how Latvia’s favorite bread is made and try your hand and making a loaf yourself. For some outdoor fun, you can enjoy summer bobsleigh or a variety of winter sports at the Zviedru cepure Recreation center.
