out of 5

Jelgava is a small city in central Latvia, located on the banks of the river Lielupe. Once the capital of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, the city is now home to just over 40,000 people and is a popular tourist destination, thanks to its well-preserved Baroque architecture and its location on the route of the EuroVelo 9 cycle route. The city is also home to the largest palace in the Baltics, the Rundale Palace, which is now a museum.
