Overlooking the Gauja River, Sigulda is a picturesque small town steeped in history and natural beauty. Only an hour-drive from Latvia’s capitol, Riga, this lesser known destination is worth visiting. Come in June to witness the Sigulda Opera Festival which takes place in the ruins of medieval castles and ramparts. For the more daring, try your hand at the local bobsleigh track. No matter what season you arrive, you’ll be impressed by the scenic woodlands surrounding the valley, home to many historical sites such as the Gutmanis Cave, which contains ancient inscriptions on cave walls, and Turaida Castle, which has been preserved as a museum open to the public.
