Craft your unique Latvia trip with experienced local experts
Latvia: a Baltic big-hitter throughout the seasons
Swathes of untrammelled nature punctuated with appealing towns characterise Latvia, a country with a curving coastline and complicated history. Unmissable Riga is the heart and the hub of the nation, offering many of Latvia’s historic and cultural highlights as well as an engaging and attractive old town. Western Latvia promises haunting coastal scenery, immense wetlands and some beguiling small-town life; while Eastern Latvia brings undulating forests and gentle valleys, national parks and plenty of outdoor thrills.
