About this tour
This call covers the Cēsis Concert Hall and the summer art festival that spreads across the old town's courtyards. I explain what the hall's programme usually includes and how the festival turns quiet corners of the town into temporary galleries. It is a planning conversation rather than a filmed walk.
We start with what you are hoping to see or time your visit around, then I talk through the season stop by stop, leaving room for your own questions throughout. I send a short list of venues and dates afterwards.
It suits anyone timing a visit around a concert or the festival. It also works well as a first call before booking a walking session.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider
