Gauja National Park, Latvia

Train

The railway line Rīga – Valka/Valga goes through the Gauja NP ensuring a convenient and regular opportunity to travel between Rīga, SiguldaCēsis and Valmiera throughout the whole day. There are special bicycle racks on the trains for transporting bicycles. Click HERE to find the schedule. 

Bus

All of the territory of the Gauja NP can be easily reached by buses which run from Rīga to SiguldaCēsis and Valmiera approximately once an hour. Travelling by bus between populated places within the Gauja NP has to be planned in accordance with the bus schedules.

Bicycle

The starting point of a picturesque bicycle ride can be the train station. There are countless bicycle routes within the Gauja NP which will allow you to explore the rich nature, history and culture of the region. We suggest you avoid the busy highways A2 and A3 and take backroads and forest roads instead.

Car

The Gauja NP is located between highways A2 and A3 and has a dense network of roads and parking lots. The majority of the tourism objects are easily accessible by car.
