  2. Culture

With Latvia being located at the crossroads between Western and Eastern cultures, and has a vast history, it is clear that foreign nations have left significant footprints in Latvia.

Latvians continue to observe the traditions of their ancestors – culture embedded in Latvian folklore that is best experienced during the Summer Solstice or "Jani" holiday, and the impressive Song and Dance festivals, as well as through traditional crafts and handiwork, events organized by museums, and a lot of other activities.

While grand events and celebrations are a big part of Latvian culture, the soul of Latvian culture is much more commonplace. While there are plenty of tourist spots, castles, museums, and architecture to be found in the capital Riga and beyond, it is the charm of everyday things that embody the spirit of Latvia!
