Baldone is a small town in Ķekava municipality, known to many Latvians as a historic spa and leisure destination not far from Riga. In recent years it has become a popular place of residence for families who want to escape the noise of the city while maintaining convenient access to the capital.
This very factor — living outside the city while needing to travel to Riga or Jelgava regularly — makes a driving licence practically essential. Driver training as a standalone service in Baldone is limited, but the full range of Riga driving schools is accessible to students from this area.
Driving lessons in Baldone and the surrounding area are usually organised as part of Riga or Ķekava branch operations. The rural roads, forests and lighter traffic provide a good starting environment, but the conditions of the CSDD examination in Riga or Jelgava also require urban driving experience — so lessons are often planned across both environments.
For theory, there is no need to travel anywhere — several schools offer complete e-learning, which is a convenient option for Baldone residents.
