Valmiera is the unofficial capital of Latvia’s Vidzeme region, located on the banks of the Gauja River. The city is home to a mix of old and new, with a charming medieval old town and a more modern commercial district. The city’s main claim to fame is its annual music festival, held in the central square each July. The festival features a mix of classical and contemporary performers, and is one of the highlights of the summer cultural calendar. Valmiera is also a convenient base for exploring the surrounding countryside, including the stunning Gauja National Park.
