Latvia Travel Information


A leader's perspective...

People always ask me what my favourite city is. Without a second’s thought, I say Riga. Everything about Latvia is a contrast. You can have a holiday by the beach and 30 minutes later be wandering through a World Heritage-listed Old Town that can be explored for hours. In the former Zeppelin Hangers, which are now the city's famous Central Markets, you can interact with the locals on a search for the best cheeses and fruit. After exploring the city, you can wander through the lake and forest region, and visit an ethnographical museum that will make think you’ve stepped back a century or two. You can search for the Baltic treasure, Amber, or learn of the people’s struggle for independence under numerous occupiers. Latvia has it all.
