“Latvia, located in the Baltic region of Europe
and keen to shed its post-Soviet image, is still little-
discovered by mass tourism, boasts crystal-
blue waters on the coast, beautiful natural
offerings such as the Gauja National Park and
an exciting, bustling capital, full of energetic locals and art-nouveau architecture in Riga.”
