interesting modern sculpture, but you need a little background in Latvian poetry to appreciate the point. next to the beach, and surrounded by a little wall you can sit on and have a snack while contemplating how times change.

Easy walk from Dubulti railway station, free entry, beautifully restored, very nice staff. Some translations of Azpazija's work available in several languages. Good touchscreen info in the room behind the reception, too. Park your bicycles in the yard, though, inside the white fence.

Jurmala is easily reached by train from Riga and Jomas St is the centre of town. Very clean with a nice friendly feel. Lots of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. We got off the train at Majori, walked half way down Jomas, diverted onto the beach and then re-joined Jomas for lunch then walked the remaining half. From there it was easier to get back to Riga from Dzintari Stn. Nice day trip.
