Museum and Garden of Peteris Upitis

Reviewed By emelie_eu - Latvia, null

Large open air garden, divided in areas - lilac garden, long rows of cherry, apple and pear, and it claims here they grow most northern apricots! At the entrance you can buy also local tasty gifts (I saw lilac ice cream, juices), lady was very smiling and inviting. Though we came during cold time and season just started, so we enjoyed only blooming apples and cherries. You can walk around (not everywhere are paved roads, some areas reachable via grass and ground), so it will be better to wear appropriate snickers or shoes. There is a small stage and they state there are classical music concerts during lilac season, so check it in advance on their pages. We also used Google maps to navigate here, and it brought us wrong direction - we came up in private living area. The right address is here in Tripadvisor - Graudu 1. We plan to come again few weeks later and invited our friends to pay attention to this place! In advance you may see Old Square with an interesting water fountain, Livonian ruins on the hill and downstairs a small city park along the pound.

Vermanes Garden

Reviewed By I9317NIbilld - Bedford, United Kingdom

We stayed in the Grand Poet by Samannah Hotel which is adjacent to this lovely parkland and walked through it many times to the old town with its many beautiful buildings, restaurants and bars. There are many large trees, flowers and particularly remember the Hydrangea Paniculata which were huge when we were there in September. Two men were playing music when we walked through one day and it was lovely to look over the water and hear the music.

Latgale Zoological Garden

Reviewed By Uzpelkiene - Visaginas, Lithuania

Very nice cozy little zoo in Daugavpils. It also has terrarium. There are turtles, fishes, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, iguanas, lizzards, monkeys, bats, meerkats and ants. Very interesting to watch them all. Especially we enjoyed ants carrying leaves into their house over our heads. We brought sliced apple and the supervising boy let us to feed the rabbit. Our little daughter like it very much! The price is not high at all, only 0.60EUR for the adult and 0.30 for childred. But they didn't charge us for our 3 years old girl. Place really worth to visit.

Salaspils Botanic Garden

Reviewed By emelie_eu - Latvia, null

Check their website before visiting as on Monday, Tuesday and during some periods the Conservatory may be closed. Otherwise it is a pleasant, nice place to see, during cold days you can take a book and read there while exchanging energy with plants or take a sit with a friend for a quiet talk :) Wild deer are living there, but only some met them as they hide from people. You can enter with a bike and explore whole territory. Very polite stuff. Garden and local municipalitiy arrange different activities - outdoor orienteering, seedlings markets, exhibitions, seasonal trade fairs,"Scientist night" and more.

We had occasion to walk through the park numerous times, even in the dark. Each time we would stop at statues and sculptures with renewed interest. Beautiful!
