We turn from the Daugava into Buļļupe, the waterway connecting it with the Lielupe. Beyond the port, the pace changes: river bends, green banks and less city.
On the Lielupe, pines, boathouses and Jūrmala’s summer villas line the route. We agree how far to go and where to stop when planning your trip. Mention it in your enquiry if you would like to go ashore for lunch.
Set aside half a day. This route leaves room for conversation, a picnic you have brought along and a slower look at the riverbanks.
