Līgatne is a small town in Cēsis municipality within Gauja National Park, surrounded by steep riverbanks and dense forests. This unique environment, with limited public transport, means that a driving licence in Līgatne is not a luxury — it is a practical necessity for every working resident.
There is no driving school in Līgatne. Students typically choose schools in Cēsis or Riga. Since the distance to larger towns is relatively short, several schools can provide an instructor in the Līgatne area or in Cēsis. E-learning for theory helps reduce the number of necessary trips into town.
Before choosing a school, it is recommended to check the CSDD statistics — theory and driving examination pass rates give an objective picture of each school's preparation quality. Before signing a contract, clarify the total training fee, the number of lessons included, the price per additional lesson and all additional costs. The examination is usually taken in Cēsis or Riga.
This section brings together driving schools training students in Līgatne and the Gauja valley area, to help find the most suitable option.
