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. 

  • If you are among those who love to spend their leisure time actively, in Latvia you will never feel bored. Here you can find adventure parks, horse riding, sailing, sport activities, orienteering, skydiving and even such entertainment as flying in the vertical wind tunnel that is not found anywhere else but only  in Latvia!

  • Beneath the heavens above, there is enough space for all the spires of church buildings of the various denominations – Catholics, Lutherans, The Russian Orthodox, Old Believers, Jewish, Baptists, Seventh-day Adventists, Armenian Apostolic ...This country is home to people of many different faiths, thus even in a small town one sometimes finds the churches or houses of worship of three or four denominations – buildings which have become amazing tourist sights as a result of Latvia's complex history and the creative spirit of its people.
