Welcome to Latvia

For travellers, the best thing about Latvia is that it is so compact. Its 500 km of sandy beaches are easily reached from historical towns, where medieval hanseatic foundations support baroque and art nouveau buildings, that become venues for cultural festivals during the summer. Families of storks happily give their seal of approval to the unspoilt nature, fresh air and clean water around them. In addition to Riga, its spectacular gateway, there are 6 other UNESCO world heritage listed sites. A trading hub for over 800 years, it is well versed in welcome. With such a variety, Latvia is best enjoyed slowly. 

  • Two sailboats in the Baltic sea near Engure.

    If you have come to Latvia and enjoyed the wonderful capital of Latvia, Riga and its historically older part the Old Riga, visited museums, art galleries, opera and theatres, you can visit also other places in Latvia. Latvia offers green, wild nature, rich historical and culture heritage, exciting towns, military objects and much more.

  • Cinema – it is a good relaxation opportunity. Latvia’s capital Riga has always been a city with a saturated film life – the first moving pictures in Riga Solomonskis’ circus were demonstrated even earlier than in Berlin or New York. Now both the world-class movie houses and international film festivals are available in Latvia for a qualitative entertainment. In its turn, if you want to see the side- scenes of filmmaking, you should go to the cinema city "Cinevilla".
