Cēsis

Perched on a hilltop in the rolling hills of Vidzeme, Cēsis is a picturesque town that feels like a step back in time. The cobbled streets, stately homes and small town atmosphere make it a popular destination for visitors in search of a more tranquil pace of life. The town is home to a number of impressive historical buildings, including the Cēsis Castle, which dominates the skyline, and the Rātsnams, a beautiful neo-Gothic church. There are also a number of parks and gardens to wander through, and a lively cultural scene, with a range of art galleries, museums and theatres. Cēsis is well known for its food, with a range of local specialities on offer, including smoked ham, wild game and black pudding.
