Europe
Still not so popular among tourists, Latvia is a small but lively country that has unspoiled countryside, white sanded secluded beaches and an unpretentious charm that would stun you.
Latvia is a part of the Baltic nations. The neighbors are equally beautiful Estonia and Lithuania.
Latvia is easily accessible by flights, cruise, ad buses from most of Europe. Riga International Airport is the largest airport and is connected by flights from Europe and Asia directly.
The airport is approx. 13 kms from the city centre. Private cars and public buses ply on the route and are quite affordable.
Riga is filled with top class hotels from major popular hotel chains. Choose your stay from 5 star to budget accommodation. If you wish to experience like a local, stay, pick and book a hotel from country side out of Riga.
Mushrooms, fish, strawberries, cherries, and honey are Latvia’s best kept gourmet secrets. Indulge in some and we are sure you would just repeat your trip just for the food.
Bon appetite!
