In the autumn season, there’s no better way to experience Latvia than by hiking beneath a colourful canopy of leaves while exploring the castles in Sigulda. Located just 53 kilometres from Riga, you can reach this charming town in about 70 minutes by train for just 2.45€ using the ‘Mobilly app’. Sigulda is the most popular destination to visit during autumn, followed by Cesis and Ogre.
In addition to Sigulda and Cesis, Ogre was also suggested as a great spot for those seeking autumn scenery close to Riga.
