Latvia Travel guide

INTRODUCTION

Sharing a maritime border with Sweden, Latvia has been a member state of the European Union since May 1, 2004. Its location as one of the three Baltic states surrounding the Baltic Sea makes it an exceptional place to visit, offering both natural scientific reserves on the beach as well as the opportunity to soak up nature and sun while resting on the shore. Latvia is also home to numerous historical churches from the Medieval times, the 17th century, and more. The scenic, fresh, and unpolluted roads of Latvia are perfect for exercise, be it biking, walking, or jogging--what a refreshing way to begin a day of touring Latvia's natural serenity and historical culture!
