Cycling day trip from Jūrmala to Riga

Kick off your ride in the lovely town of Jūrmala! Known for its Baltic Sea beaches and charming wooden architecture, Jūrmala is the perfect spot to start a scenic cycling journey. As you pedal out, you'll feel the breeze and enjoy a mix of asphalt and paving stones beneath your wheels.

The route gently meanders towards Riga, covering just over 25 kilometers. Along the way, expect smooth cycling mostly on dedicated cycleways. The ride is pretty flat, with only slight uphill and downhill stretches, so you'll have plenty of energy to soak in the views. Keep an eye out for some bustling sections as you pass briefly through busy roads and lively streets, but fear not, most of your journey will be on tranquil paths.

As you approach Riga, the vibrant capital of Latvia, be prepared to immerse yourself in a city rich with culture and history. Cruise past Riga's famous Art Nouveau architecture and perhaps take a detour through the Old Town's cobblestone streets.

So, gear up for a relaxed, scenic ride from the sandy shores of Jūrmala to the historic streets of Riga. It's a journey that combines the best of Latvia's natural and urban beauty in a short afternoon's adventure. Happy cycling!
