Kuldīga Old Town was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2023 under the name Kuldīga Old Town in the Pristine Venta River Valley. Its heart is Town Hall Square, and the surrounding Baznīcas and Liepājas streets are lined with colorful wooden houses, handicraft shops and cafés. The Alekšupīte stream runs between the houses and is known as the Venice of Kuldīga. The town is often used as a film location. It is small enough to explore in half a day, and you can follow the stream all the way to Ventas Rumba. The long-distance bus from Riga takes about 2.5 hours.
