When it comes to Latvia, many people think first and foremost of its capital, Riga. No wonder, because the picturesque old Hanseatic city in the bay of Riga can not only look back on a rich history, but is also characterized by a unique mix of different architectural styles. But it is not only the architecture that attracts visitors here from abroad. Riga has experienced a real boom in recent years and today presents itself as modern as never before.
Other Latvian cities such as Liepāja, Ventspils, Daugavpils and Cēsis are also worth a visit and all have their own unique character.
You’ve had enough of all the beautiful Latvian cities? Then let’s get out into nature, which is the real treasure of the country. Here you can hike through the lake landscape in the east of the country or go canoeing. How about a relaxing beach vacation? Especially around Liepāja you will find many fine sandy beaches. Far away from civilization, the national parks Kemeri, Gauja and Razna and Sitere are a great place to relax and forget about everyday life for a few days.
But also the Latvian culture will inspire you: Whether you participate in one of the traditional festivals at the summer or winter solstice or taste the Latvian cuisine, in which many cultures have left their mark – you will not be disappointed!
