RESERVE Key the region’s many other attractions by using public transport.
Motorway While buses are a good option for reaching Bauska and most
Main road of Kurzeme’s sights, taking a train is preferable for trips to Jelgava
and Tukums. However, as there are no direct routes between Rīga
Secondary road
