We are introducing you to a small, charming Baltic country which probably many of you have not heard of before, and have not yet considered to be a potential destination for your next adventure. That is something we would like to change! This Baltic nation has more than a few wonders hidden amid its lush pine forests and architecturally rich cities and towns. We promise you that a visit to Latvia will have everyone find something special and will be able to satisfy every taste no matter if you are culture fan, nature lover or urban traveler. Its deep green forested landscapes, countryside filled with lakes and rivers, endless and wild sandy beaches lie side by side close to country’s culturally and architecturally rich cities. We are welcoming you to Latvia!
The capital city of Latvia Riga is filled with magnificent cathedrals and lively food markets, this inspirational city will make you smile! Rigas downtown area is packed with remarkable collection of historic buildings, majestic churches and cobbled streets. Thanks to its Medieval houses and picturesque 19th century wooden structures this part of Riga is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
And let us not forget about its key examples of Art Nouveau architecture, it is like no other you have seen elsewhere! Rigas Art Nouveau architecture is sometimes described as the “Paris of the North”. So, if you are a fan of this theatrical style of architecture and design, you simply must come and visit this Baltic pear, where you will find over 750 art nouveau buildings to enjoy. Once here all you will need to do is to gaze up, while wandering the streets, and you will be in awe by the amazing facades decorated with the swirling nature motives, goddesses, and mythological beasts, which are typical for this architecture style. Make sure not to leave your camera behind!
Riga most probably receives most attention as a travel destination for everyone who plans to visit Latvia, but we would like to challenge you to leave its charms for a day or two and visit Latvia’s smaller towns, which are matchless small worlds offering beautiful sights, rich culture, and warm hospitality. Why not to pay a visit to Kuldiga, which is famous for its architecture, masterfully blending Baroque masterpieces, atmospheric wooden houses and canals that have rightfully earned this town a nickname of “the Venice of the North.”
