OVERVIEW

Kuldiga is a historic town in western Latvia, with timber buildings, narrow streets and a brick bridge crossing the Venta River. The centre retains a coherent low rise character, while a broad natural waterfall lies directly beside the town. Settlement follows the relationship between river and museums, which remains visible beyond the main visitor routes.

Walking is the best way to explore the old streets, riverbanks and small museums. The town remains calm outside summer weekends, with local cafés and residential life close to the principal sights. Autumn colour and winter snow create very different versions of the same streets. The relationship between river and central streets becomes clearest when the destination is explored over more than one area.
