Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Jūrmala do Ryga

Looking for a pleasant ride from the seaside to the city? This route takes you from Jūrmala—Latvia’s laid-back resort town famous for its sandy beaches and wooden Art Nouveau villas—straight into the heart of Riga, the country’s buzzing capital.

You’ll cruise most of the way (over 25 km) on a mix of smooth asphalt and classic paving stones, almost entirely on dedicated cycleways, making it great for riders of all abilities. The route is practically flat, so you can focus more on the scenery than breaking a sweat.

Start with some fresh sea air in Jūrmala, maybe grab a pastry or coffee from a café, and then head east. Before you know it, the Baltic pine forests give way to the urban landscape as you roll into Riga, where you can reward yourself with a stroll through the charming Old Town or a visit to the bustling Central Market. Whether you’re in it for the views or the destination, this route is a perfect snapshot of the best Latvia has to offer—beach, nature, and city life all in one ride.
