Valmeria (Latvia)

I enjoyed Valmeria a lot, probably because I got along with the tourism office person, she really understood my needs for 716, and she drove me to many places; Valmeria is best enjoyed with a car for sure. Valemeria is a university city that is pr[...]

Cesis-Latvia

I was there on a rainy day, so I didn't see it under its best light. This medieval town hosts many summer concerts and festivals, and is known for being an artist haven. Walking around the city, the park, the castle is a pleasure, it's very pretty. T[...]

Sigulda (Latvia)

Sigulda is the city with the most tourism out of all the cities I visited in Latvia. I arrived there tired, under the rain, and I left the next morning. I therefore didn't get the chance to really dig deeper than the places that are already well know[...]

Valguma Pausale-Smarde (Latvia)

It's a coup de coeur because I thought that the food was really excellent, which wasn't always the case on this journey when it came to finding average/ fine dining food, but this place is bucolic, and everything stems from there, the bosses are arti[...]

Fazenda-Sigulda (Latvia)

Fazenda is a quality restaurant chain in Latvia, the ingredients are good, the dishes "manquent d'a propos" but the service and the atmosphere is nice. [...]

Valmiermuižas alus – Valmiera (Latvia)

This is a brewery that shouldn't be skipped, it's definitely one of those places that you have to see when in Valmeria. It was built in 2005, but the first beers didn't come out until 2008, because the boss and his staff weren't satisfied with the fi[...]

Turaida Castle and Gutmans’ Cave-Sigulda (Latvia)

There's actually the remnants of two castles : the Sigulda Castle (1207-1226) and the Turaida Castle (13th C) At the 49 km mark on the Riga-Sigulda road, a pit stop is necessary at the "Senite" restaurant, which is shaped like a mushroom. Dishes o[...]

The Gaiki Farm-Tukums (Latvia)

You absolutely have to go, Helena is an extraordinary character and her farm "breathes" her passion for organic fruit and vegetables.[...]

Galerija “Laipa” – Valmiera (Latvia)

Here's an atypical place, an art gallery and spot where local products are sold, the father and daughter are running it. You don't expect coming across something of this magniude in Valmeria, and yet, here it is, and that's actually what I like about[...]

Dobele (Latvia)

I had a coup de coeur for the little town Dobele. For your information, when I organized this trip with the Latvian National Tourism Office, they gave me a list of cities that were ready to receive me, and on my side I compiled a list of cities and t[...]

Nida (Lithuania)

The Curonian Spit is a long island which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site; located in front of Klaipeda, it's northern part belongs to Lithuania, and its southern part to Russia, the famous Russian enclave that is Kaliningrad. The nature [...]

Tapassoto (Verona) Italy

A tapas restaurant in Italy, now there's a novel idea. Tapassoto opened in 2014, so it still has to iron out a few things, not everything is figured out yet. However, the staff is friendly for such a trendy place, the wine list is interesting in some[...]
