Visit Cesis (Latvia)

Cēsis is truly not only one of the oldest but also one of the most beautiful Latvian towns. Rich in picturesque landscapes and testimonies of the past, it embodies both an intriguing sense of antiquity and modern self-esteem. Both Cēsis and the Cēsis district are among the most attractive temptations for travellers in Vidzeme. If you wish to recover your mind from the crowd of the city, you should take a walk through the small lanes of Cēsis, which still maintain their layout as in medieval times. They cross unique silent yards, with small one- or two-storey buildings with red tile roofs on the side, as mute but friendly witnesses with lilac bushes and roses blossoming next to them in spring-time. The Cēsis church and the old castle-ruins with the castle park are places where to let yourself think and wonder.
