Destination Information for Latvia

Latvia can be found on the Baltic Sea, in between Lithuania and Estonia. The capital city– Riga– is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its charm originating from cobblestones and spectacular river views. A feast for the taste buds, Riga’s huge Central Market sells delights including smoked fish and cheeses. There is also an array of local beers to be sampled, or cocktails containing the signature ingredient Riga Black Balsam.

For tourists seeking adventure, a trip to Gauja National Park is essential. Its appeal lies in the variety of flora and fauna, natural springs and sandstone outcrops, all of which combine to provide spectacular views. This area is ideal for hiking, with the Amata Geology Trail providing 17 kilometres of natural splendour.
