Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania - Latvia
A tapestry of sea, lakes and woods, Latvia is best described as a vast unspoilt parkland with just one real city – its cosmopolitan capital, Rīga. You can always secure a chunk of pristine nature, be it for trekking, cycling, or lounging on a white-sand beach.
- lose yourself in the maze of cobblestones, church spires and gingerbread trim that is Unesco-protected Old Rīga
- maps
- sneak away from the capital and indulge in aristocratic decadence at Rundāle Palace
- transport
- listen to the waves pound the awesomely remote Cape Kolka, which crowns the desolate Kurzeme coast
- restaurants & accommodation
