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.

Overall we were happy with our experience from the planning to our lodging. We had our trust issues about not physically seeing anyone, but your staff were available to chat with us when we had questions. We had only one incident in the Doubletree Excel Hotel. The receptionist told me that breakfast wasn’t included in the voucher. My husband clarified the situation and she apologized for not reading the voucher correctly. The selection of lodging was very interesting, varying from modern hotels to tea rooms and an apartment. We were expected at each lodging and there were no difficulties. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would happily use your company again for future travels. Thank you for your efficient organization, comforting agents and follow-up.

We were very pleased with the cost of the trip, and have spoken to others who couldn’t believe we did the trip for such a good price. The best thing of all was that upon arrival we had no stress, as we always knew we were sorted for the night. Our trip was amazing and we have recommended your site to others. Congratulations and thank you to your whole team for providing such a wonderful holiday experience.
