Welcome to my blog post! You can call me by the name Quyen Le or July. In the final stretch of the tourism studies at Lapland University of Applied Sciences, I expect the trip to Tukums, Latvia to be a sweet end to my international stay. Having lived in the city for nearly 21 years, the countryside through the eyes of this Vietnamese girl is something truly new and worth looking forward to. After doing some research about the area, I want to share with you some rural tourism destinations and activities that travelers should try in Tukums municipality, Latvia.
Must-try activities
The following are the activities that I want to recommend for Tukums visitors.
- Nature trails. The nature is what you should not miss the most when coming to Tukums. Human impact on the natural environment in Kemeri National Park is relatively small, thus this territory can still maintain its inherent wilderness. Additionally, if exploring the beauty of nature in the usual way cannot satisfy you, then an exciting barefoot trail can do the trick.
- Gastronomic experiences. Latvia’s country cuisine is called Europe hidden gem. Hence, there are plenty of activities related to food and beverages. For example, you might be interested in taking a bite of a snail at the Kangari snail farm, learning the history of chocolate at Pure chocolate museum or savoring the flavors of the region through Abavas wine.
- Workshops. Wicker workshop, weaver workshop, art workshop… What’s better than participating in some local activities and bringing memories home? Find more in Visit Tukums.
- Sightseeing. With the enchanting rural scenery here, just bring your phone or camera, take a walk around and you will get some aesthetic photos.
It’s time to put aside the burdens of daily life and immerse yourself in the simple beauty of the countryside. Will you choose Tukums as your rural tourism destination? Let me know by leaving a comment!
