Presentation
Latvia, officially Republic of Latvia, is a country situated in the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Estonia.
Bathed by the icy waters of the Baltic Sea, it has a marshy coastline with sand dunes and important fishing ports. Riga, the capital, is the largest capital of the Baltic republics.
Discover ancient castles, stroll through impressive valleys or relax on miles of Latvian beaches.
A tapestry of sea, lakes and woods, Latvia is best described as a vast and preserved park with only one royal city - its cosmopolitan capital, Riga. The country may be small, but the amount of personal space it provides is enormous. You can always guarantee yourself a piece of unspoiled nature, whether for hiking, biking or dreaming on a white sandy beach amid pine-covered dunes.
