Latvia is a mystical destination that abounds with varying landscapes. One can wander through the cobblestone alleyways of the capital city, stroll along a stretch of beach over 300 miles long, or explore the dense pine forests covering nearly half of the country. In the Baltic region between Lithuania and Estonia, Latvia is the perfect country to visit during any of the four seasons. Admire Riga's notable art nouveau architecture, its medieval Old Town and open-air museums, and incredible local food and music. Relax in a sunny square in town and enjoy beer gardens and quaint cafes. Enjoy the abundance of mostly untouched forests that will appeal to nature and photography lovers alike, giving those a peaceful escape from bustling towns and cities.
