- I spent an outdoorsy weekend in Gauja National Park, which is one of the biggest in Latvia. We hiked to Paradise Hill, which has some of the breathtaking panoramic views on the Gauja river valley below. We also took gazillion pictures of the Turaida Castle, which you could see from this viewing platform as well.
We also flew a drone around gorgeous Sigulda New Castle and drank coffee next to the Red Stone Cliffs (named Kuku Cliffs) at sunrise.
This Trip, as short as it was, truly made me proud of the time I've spent in Latvia and I know for a fact that I will come back for more.

❤❤grazie per il video, saremo li nella seconda metà di luglio 2024❤❤
Very well filmed . Great job ! Glad you liked your time here .
guys this is actually a cool video. It’s my first one i saw. it feels like a documentary but also very personally, i like it.
Cheers Joris, appreciate your comment. The idea was to capture our adventures and share more about this place. Missing summer adventures already.
This was just fantastic, Polly! I'm from Latvia and I recently discovered you through one of your Instagram reels. I must say - I've been following your journey ever since and so far, you've not only made Latvia more beautiful in my eyes, but it's almost like through your enthusiasm I've had the opportunity to look at it from the eyes of a foreigner, which has been nothing but refreshing and fascinating! 🤗 Thank you for showing me sides of our country that even I had never seen before and thank you for filling me with so much warmth and positive energy every time I see your lovely content! ☀️ I hope you and J will both have even more wonderful adventures here in Latvia, and I already cannot wait to see more of your amazing content! 🤗 Stay safe guys
Oh gosh, thank you so much for your wonderful words Ieva! Latvia has completely blown us away with it’s gorgeous nature, culture, food and warm people! Loads of love and thank you for your support!
Funny you say that Sigulda look slike set a fantasy movie, while next doors is the village of Ligatne, that has around 300 man made caves that local have used as anything from morgue to starage unit for pickled vegies and jams. Someone even has home wine shop in one of those caves. Can't get more fantasy that that
Oh wow, that is such an excellent tip. I honestly want to come back and explore more of Latvia and its surrounding a little more thoroughly. I've heard Venta Rapid is wonderful :)
Welcome! We have many great places to visit and enjoy in Latvia, even within Gauja National Parks. Park is diverse and with much more beautiful cliffs, than tourists used to visit.
How gorgeous is Latvia? Think I'm gonna fly out there in September. Thanks for the info and brilliant footage
Totally agree. We were completely mesmerised by the beauty of the landscape! I wish we did the kayaking trip along the Gauja river, that looked so much fun.
Truly mesmerizing!!
Great video! Looks like an amazing place!
beautiful~
Cheers Andrew. It's funny to think that it has taken a national lockdown for me to start exploring my backyard and it turned out pretty great!
You should have walked some more difficult trails around the Paradise Hill - there are a lot of steps and trails leading to some cool caves and nice views.
Also, I would recommend you to visit Salaspils concentration camp, it is one of my favorite places in Latvia, just 30 minute ride from Riga.
another one (I am just watching your videos and coming up with ideas for you) - go to Mangaļsalas mols in a stormy weather, your camera will love it
Hehe, thank you for the suggestions. I love some moody shots so Mangalsalas sounds 👌🏼
That was truly amazing. My favourite photos must have been number, 3, 4 and 5. I was wondering what camera would you recommend for a beginner? Thank you 😊 for your lovely videos. I hope you will carry on having wonderful adventures 😘
Thank you very much Hania! This national park has completely exceeded our expectations! Re camera- haaa it’s a million dollar question right? Well I would say that start with like a £300 one, you wouldn’t know what you like/need as a photographer until you had your first camera and taken loads of pictures with it. So go for super basic one and get into habit to shoot with it. Photography is mostly about lighting, framing, looking for compositions, you can start training your eye to see all of this with any camera. Your phone ( if you have camera there) might be a good place to start.
It’s been 2 months now Classic Polly since this video was uploaded and we haven’t heard from you since. Hope you’re safe and doing well. Looking forward to you next video. Specially street photography vids.
Miss you too guys, thanks for checking on me!All good here! Working on a big project right now, you can follow it on my Twitter! Once it’s out will resume uploading YT vids!
What is the name of hotel you stayed in?
