The Advent time has been bright, noble covered in white snow blanket. People are delighted by concerts, Christmas and farmers markets, creative workshops and this beautiful time of festive time.

A glorious snow layer covers valleys of Gauja and Amata rivers, majestic castles’ roofs and parks, and let adrenaline catching skiers enjoy the longest ski slopes in Latvia.

Valmiera Municipality has been a member of the Gauja National Park (GNP) Tourism Association "Enter Gauja" since the very beginning - in 2011. We are proud that Mini Zoo "Mežiņi" has become a member of the GNP Tourism Association "Enter Gauja" since October this year and can enjoy special member benefits, thus developing its tourism offer and promoting the influx of travellers from near and far.

We welcome you to participate in patriotic celebration events in November!

As the autumn’s fullness approaches its conclusion, residents of Valmiera and city guests know that it is time not only to look for a warmer jacket, to which the national flag symbol will soon be proudly attached, but also to book a table in one of Valmiera's cosy restaurants and cafes to enjoy the exquisite combinations of autumn flavours during Valmiera Restaurant Week from November 18 to 27. Guests will be pampered with a special three-course meal and a matched drink menu by six caterers from Valmiera.

The team of the Rural Lifestyle cooperation project of the Central Baltic Programme invites you to share the emotions captured in photos taken in Estonia, Latvia, Finland (Lohja and Åland) and Sweden (Söderhamn).

Spring - a time when nature begins to wake up, chasing the first sprouts and plucking the cheeks with the warm rays of the sun. This is a time when we are not only becoming happier, looking for a lighter jacket and embracing the nature even more, but also when we want to supplement our taste buds with fresh spring goods and vitamins. The selected compositions of the taste of spring will be available to enjoy during the Valmiera Restaurant Week, from April 15th to 24th. Guests with a special three-course meal and a matching drink menu will be pampered by eight Valmiera caterers: restaurants DELIZIA, AKUSTIKA, RĀTES VĀRTI, VECPUISIS, the restaurant at the hotel WOLMAR and cafes VĪNKALNI PILS MĀJA, AHH-MEAT and TĒRBATA.
