Latvia for visitors

 Latvia is a country where remarkable natural diversity, rich cultural heritage, and living traditions meet within a compact territory. From quiet forest trails, lakes, and sandy Baltic Sea beaches to historic castles, wooden architecture, and vibrant cities, Latvia invites visitors to experience an authentic Northern European atmosphere.

Here, ancient customs coexist with contemporary culture, song and dance unite generations, and the sense of hospitality and a calm pace of life allow travelers to truly slow down and feel the spirit of the place. Brand new permanent exhibition SongSpace is recently opened (Riga) SongSpace – LNRMM 

Latgale region

Latgale is the heart of Latvia with a particularly strong character and soul—a land where deep-rooted traditions, faith, and language intertwine with unspoiled nature and the warmth of its people. The region is defined by hundreds of lakes, gently rolling hills, roadside crucifixes, and peaceful rural landscapes that invite visitors to pause and listen.

Rich in song, craftsmanship, and spirituality, Latgale offers a vibrant cultural life with markets, festivals, and ancient skills passed down through generations. For travelers, Latgale reveals itself as a genuine and untouched Latvia—warm, welcoming, and deeply authentic.
