Jelgava

Jelgava was once considered as the most beautiful city in Latvia, but much has changed since the destructive World War II. The city, once a hot spot for the German nobility, holds many buildings reminiscent of its rich past. The enormous and resplendent Jelgava Palace, built for Duke Ernst Johann, is one of the few old buildings that still remain. St Simeon's and St. Anna's Orthodox Cathedral is another stunning piece of architecture, a snow-white building with sky-blue orthodox domes. While holidaying here, do not miss Jelgava’s specialty dish named Charlotte’s kiss, which is an egg-curd cream and jelly mousse made of berry juices. Besides a number of restaurants, the city also boasts plenty of nightclubs such as Tonuss and Jelgavas krekli as well as a couple of nice bars like Chocolate & Pepper and Klondaika. If you’re really looking for some thrill, then opt for solo and tandem skydives at Jelgava airfield.
