Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the European Cooperation Day, the Interreg cross-border cooperation programmes (Latvia-Lithuania, Latvia-Russia, Estonia-Latvia, Central Baltic and URBACT) together with Tūrists Savā Pilsētā organize photo orienteering games in five Latvian cities – Jelgava, Cēsis, Rēzekne, Rīga and Kuldīga.

The games are designed to allow people to get to know these beautiful cities in different regions better, learn more about Interreg cross-border cooperation programmes and have a good time outdoors with friends.

We invite you to register your team for each specific game at least two days before it starts. Participation in the games is free. A valid Covid-19 certificate (vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19) must be presented with the identity card before the start of the game.
