Destination
Latvia
Latvia offers a gentle mix of medieval towns, expansive pine forests, and a Baltic coastline where sea breezes meet historic brick streets, inviting visitors to wander museums, sample hearty dishes, and enjoy quiet lakeside retreats.
Late spring brings long daylight and the countryside awash with fresh green, making walks through forests and along the coast especially pleasant.
