Why Kuldīga Old Town matters
Kuldīga feels like a place that time forgot, in the best way. Low wooden houses with red tile roofs line cobbled streets, and cafés sit in courtyards. The town was once the seat of a duchy, and it is proud of its heritage. Walk down to the river to see the old brick bridge and the broad waterfall below.
Talking points
