Talsi
There's really not a great deal to do in Talsi except wander around and enjoy the surroundings. Rising above Lake Talsu on the eastern side of town is Pilsētas dārzs, an ancient Cour castle mound topped by Freedom Sun, a statue of a man sitting Buddha-style. It was erected in 1996 in remembrance of Latvia's freedom fighters.

KAI
KAI competes for the title of the most kitsch spot in the Baltics. Munch on unremarkable food and watch fish bob in plastic tubes of florescence. The place has a pool table and late-night disco.

Lake Usma
Quiet as it might be, Talsi does serve as good base for exploring. About 30km west lies Lake Usma, a 38.92-sq-km puddle of water polka-dotted with seven islands and backed by leafy forests.

Marā Beer Garden & Pub
A hip bar (at least by Talsi standards), this place has a cafeteria-style eatery on the ground level and a cellar beer bar serving big platefuls of grilled meats and lots of salads.
