Hotels in Vidzeme, Latvia
Vidzeme sits in central Latvia, home to the Gauja National Park and the scenic Gauja River, famous for its ancient castle ruins and outdoor adventures. Summers are mild (around 70°F or 21°C), perfect for canoeing down the Gauja or hiking to Sigulda's medieval Turaida Castle, while winters drop to about 20°F (-6°C), turning the region into a snowy haven for skiing and bobsleigh rides at the Sigulda track. You can also explore the 19th-century Gutmanis Cave in any season, but plan for summer if you want to dip in the river or winter for snow activities.
