A kaleidoscope of forests, lakes and sea, Latvia is like a huge garden dotted with small towns. It's perfect for an outdoor holiday, with lots of activities, ranging from hiking and cycling to relaxing on the beach.
Choose a campsite in the western region, Kurzeme, for the ideal mix of culture, history and nature. Book into a beachside cabin and explore the Baltic coastline on foot or by bike, hike the Mežtaka trails, sail on Lake Engure, visit castles and gardens of bygone days and satisfy your taste buds with good wine and interesting local dishes.
In the northern region of Vidzeme, you’ll find the country's highest mountain. Visit Gauja National Park when it turns red in autumn, the trails around Līgatne, and hit the slopes on skis or snowboard in winter.
Water lovers should set up camp or book a rustic cottage in the ‘Land of the Blue Lakes’, the eastern region of Latgale. Between nature parks, medieval castles and original cultural attractions such as bread, glass and doll museums, young and old will be entertained.
Finish the itinerary with a visit to the capital, Riga, dotted with medieval buildings, wooden architecture, museums, restaurants and bars.
