Walking Routes in Jūrmala by Station
Jūrmala is flat, salty-aired and easy on the legs, and almost every route is self-guided. The only regular guided walk is the Sunday centre walk, described near the end. Because the city is a ribbon of settlements, each walk below starts from a railway stop on the Vivi line from Riga, and no stop carries the name Jūrmala, so buy a ticket to the district you want.

From Majori station to Dzintari
Head east along the pedestrian Jomas iela, about 1.1 km of wooden buildings, cafes and shops. Pass the bronze Turtle sculpture and take a beach exit for a look at the sea. Carry on to Dzintari Concert Hall (Turaidas iela 1) and Dzintari Forest Park, where the viewing tower is free in park hours. The whole loop is about 3.5 km. From the street you can add the Morbergs summer houses at Dzintaru prospekts 52/54, a restored neo-Gothic wooden group.
From Dubulti station
Art Station Dubulti, a free gallery, is inside the station building. Aspazija’s House (Z. Meierovica prospekts 18/20) is about 5 minutes on foot. Its main exhibition has been closed for veranda works since 4 September 2026, so treat it as an outside stop. Next come Dubulti Lutheran Church (Baznīcas iela 13) and the seafront, where a labelled wellness trail winds through the dunes.
Buļļuciems and the Ragakāpa dunes
Begin at the free Jūrmala Open-Air Museum (Tīklu iela 1A), closed on Mondays. Then take the Ragakāpa trails, which use boardwalks through pine woods and over a dune about 17 m high, and finish at the mouth of the Lielupe. No ticket is needed for the trails.
Ķemeri park and the bog
Get off at Ķemeri for the restored resort park, with its water tower and spring pavilion. The tower platforms open only from about late April to late October. The bog boardwalk lies further on. The walk from the station to its start is roughly 3.5 to 4 km, so many walkers take a taxi or a bike for that stretch. From the car park it is about 800 m to the boards. The boardwalk is free and open all year, and it looks best on a morning in autumn colour. See redzet.lv for the route.
The Sunday centre walk
The tourist information centre (Lienes iela 5, Majori) lists a walk through Majori and Dzintari at 12:00 on Sundays. It goes ahead when at least 4 people join. The listing asks for a donation of about EUR 10 for adults and EUR 5 for children, in cash, and listings are seasonal, so ask first. Tip-based walks are listed now and then on guide platforms.
Printed and online aids
Visit Jūrmala offers a Wooden Architecture Guide that maps routes past the villas. Drivers can read the entry rules at visitjurmala.lv , where the day fee is EUR 5. Walkers arriving by train pay nothing.
Underfoot and safety
Wear shoes with grip on the boardwalks, which are slippery in rain. Ice on the sea and the Lielupe is thin in winter and not safe to walk on.
