Latvia Courland Aizpute

Established in the 9C on the Tebra River, Aizpute is known for its 13C castle and friendly shops and cafes.

Aizpute is a town in western Latvia's Aizpute municipality in the valley of Tebra River. The territory of modern Aizpute was inhabited by ancient Curonians since the 9th century. St. John Lutheran church has been built on the curonian hillfort. In the 13th century during the Livonian crusade, the territory of Aizpute was conquered by German crusaders. Already in 1248 the master of the Livonian Order Dietrich von Gruningen ordered the building of a stone castle in Aizpute, which remains to this day one of the town's most significant attractions, besides its historic center.

This site was a fantastic tool to plan our 7-week trip. All the accommodations worked out perfectly and met our expectations. Your website was a great way to get suggestions, look at accommodation types that were available, as well as price ranges. From there I could start tailoring the trip to our travelling preferences. You should be proud of this great tool to empower travellers to do their own arrangements, and at the same time get a great price. I would definitely use this site again and will be highly recommending it to friends and family.

All the hotels worked out perfectly. As it was our first time to Greece, and we did not know the areas when booking, we ended up in perfect locations in Mykonos and Santorini. Our hotels were lovely, the people were friendly and accommodating, and the trip itinerary worked out great. When we had to change hotels based on small itinerary change, your staff was on the ball and made all the hotel changes for us and the payment was easy.
