Here’s an overview of your tour

The city's name finds its roots in the historical Finno-Ugric language, particularly the word "Kuuld," meaning Gold. Remarkably, the enchanting remnants of a golden era still grace the city. Embark on a captivating journey as you witness the spectacular view of Europe's widest waterfall. Stand in awe of the mighty Venta bridge that spans the river, adding grandeur to the landscape.

Take a leisurely stroll through the town, where the medieval ambiance transports you to a bygone era. Along the way, savor the sights of the small but picturesque Alex River (Alekšupīte), which has earned the town the endearing moniker "Venice of Latvia." As you explore, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of local cuisine, discovering the diverse flavors that characterize the western part of Latvia. This multifaceted experience promises a delightful journey through history, nature, and gastronomy.
