About Latvia
Latvia is best known for the capital city of Riga, but this cosmopolitan metropolis is merely the frontline for one of the last unspoiled travel experiences in Europe. In fact, more than fifty percent of Latvia consists of luscious forest, glistening lakes, and flowing rivers. Situated amidst the Baltic States; this enchanting country is home to less than two million people and a culture which seems rather unassuming at first.
However, the sheer greenery, friendly locals and a great number of attractions ensure this one of the most popular destinations for Baltic tours.
What to See in Latvia
As with neighbouring countries, the cuisine is rarely the main attraction in Latvia, but food and restaurants are often the subjects of five-star reviews online.
Located next to Gauja National Park, the small town of Sigulda offers an intriguing insight into the very traditional side of Latvia.
This incredibly large Gauja National Park is home to forests, lakes, waterfalls, rivers and some of the most luscious countryside in the country.
Located in the heart of Riga, Rundale Palace is an inspiring baroque palace and one of the most iconic landmarks in the capital.
