When you 'have had it' and you want to take a break, visit Latvia for just a weekend or preferably - longer. Latvia is a beautiful place to visit. It is easy to travel in Latvia - be it cities or the country, tourism infrastructure has been developed to meet various needs in terms of interests and budget. Latvia is known for its beautiful landscape - the seashore and forests for lovers of nature. For those who seek urban environment - there is architecture, museums, art galleries and festivals.

Latvia's historical heritage is diverse and so is the impact on its people, architecture, design and food. The traditions we still practice during festivals of different kinds, give an insight into how we became who we are now.

Latvia, historically being on the crossroads between the East and the West, has itself become an eclectic mix of influences. And it has all blended in nicely making Latvia unique in its own way. Take architecture for example - Medieval Old Riga extends into Baroque and Art Nouveau in the city centre and then parts of the city with narrow streets covered in cobblestone and remarkably well-preserved wooden architecture of the late 19th century.

The landscape of the countryside is .... Well, sensuous. Virtually untouched by industry, wild in its own way and comforting to senses. This is when the mind and body come in one - in perfect harmony. You can stay in the small guesthouses or renovated mansions. Try the local cuisine and spa treatments.


You are welcome to Latvia!
