Jūrmala by train via Riga: the Ķemeri bog and a fishing village

Jūrmala does not have to mean a summer beach: in autumn and spring it is good for walking. The boardwalk in the Ķemeri bog is open around the clock and has two loops, of which the longer one leads to a viewing tower. The Jūrmala Open-Air Museum in Buļļuciems shows a fishing village with boats and collections of anchors and ropes, and from the end of September to mid-May it is open Tuesday to Sunday. From Vilnius take an LTG train to Riga, then a Vivi train to Jūrmala. Practical tip: the boardwalk is slippery in the rain and the snow is not cleared in winter, so wear suitable shoes. Check the museum and train times on the official pages before you go.
