Join the Summer University and visit:

Riga
Do we dare to call Riga the pearl of Latvia? Absolutely! As the heart of the country it has become a multicultural city in which one can always find something of interest for any taste. Come and wander around in the Old Town, look in the depts of the river of the city, named Daugava, or take a walk in the Art Nouveau District, that is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

Jurmala
It fascinates with its white sandy beach that is almost 26km long and its spacious pine forests with modern recreation and resort options.

Tallinn
On the coast of the Baltic Sea, you will find a vibrant, high-tech city, with one of the hottest Start-Up scene’s in Europe. A city of amazing contrasts, where a well preserved medieval Old Town is wedged between an ultramodern business district and a trendy hipster neigbourhood.

Helsinki
The capital of Finland blossoms during the summer. This by European standards is a small capital surrounded by the sea. Helsinki offers you a broad selection of different activities: night-life, nature and nightless nights.

Nurmijärvi
Is known for its beautiful nature and lakeside summer houses. It's Finland's largest rural municipality in terms of population and one of the fastest growing in the greater Helsinki area.
