Where Should I go: Sigulda or Inner Hebrides?

Sigulda

Only 50 kilometers from Riga, Sigulda can be reached by either train or bus. The town is pleasantly situated in the Vidzeme Region of Latvia in the beautiful Gauja Valley. The area is quite scenic with steep banks and cliffs, and has earned itself the title as the "Switzerland of Latvia." Don't put too much emphasis on this name, but it is a pleasant area to explore, particularly if you're looking to get outside of the city and immerse yourself in some pristine wilderness.

Inner Hebrides

The Inner Hebrides are a chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland that feature some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the country. The islands are practically untouched by modern times, making it the ideal place to explore ancient history while taking in the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The best time of year to visit is from May to September when temperatures are between 60-75° Fahrenheit and rain is minimal. This is also an ideal time for beachgoers as sea temperatures are at their warmest during these months.
