Latvia, a gem nestled along the Baltic Sea, enchants with its seamless blend of history and modernity. Riga, the capital, is a living museum of Art Nouveau architecture, where cobbled streets lead to treasures like the Riga Cathedral and the medieval Riga Castle.
Beyond the city, the fairytale-like Turaida Castle stands amidst serene landscapes, while the Gauja National Park invites you to explore pristine forests and meandering rivers. Latvia's Midsummer Festival celebrates ancient traditions with bonfires, wreaths, and joyous festivities. Laced with folklore and a distinct culture, Latvia is a Baltic treasure waiting to be discovered.
Art Nouveau architecture, charming Baltic Sea coastline, and vibrant cities.
