A tiny nation in the Baltics; Latvia is best described as an unspoilt reserve of lakes, forests, sandy beaches and beautiful medieval towns with an attractive capital city.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bordered by Russia, Estonia, Belarus and Lithuania, Latvia declared independence in 1918 and became a member of the European Union in 2004. The long-spread history of the country creates a colourful tapestry and has left behind a country with more cultural layers than any of its Baltic neighbours. The Soviet occupation of Latvia resulted in a Russian minority population; whilst Riga, the capital city, is a bilingual region, the rest of Latvia remains divided by language and culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For those keen to stray away from the beaten tracks of Europe, Latvia presents stunning countryside, a beautiful Old Town heart and a myriad of festivals as a testament to their layered culture.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whilst the country is small, you\u2019ll find that personal space is a given here. Whichever patch of sandy beach, pristine forest or charming lakeside you find yourself on, you\u2019ll have it all to yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Combine all of the above, and you have a gem of a destination waiting to be explored. This Latvia travel guide presents all you need to know about this charming Baltic country;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
