  Latvia Holidays

Holidays in Latvia offer a wide array of options from coastal holidays to architectural city breaks, activity holidays, country holidays and much more. With such a wide range of choices, you are to find your holiday wish fulfilled.

Latvia is located on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, and is the middle country of the Baltic States. It is roughly the same size as Ireland and is home to 2.3 million people. Of the three Baltic States, it is probably the most culturally diverse, with about a third of its population of Russian origin. This diversity is most prevalent in the capital city of Riga, which has re-established its pre - Soviet reputation as a vibrant, cosmopolitan city that rivals Prague.

More about Latvia Holidays & Holiday Itineraries

 

What is there to do in Latvia?

Despite foreign rule from the 13th to 20th centuries, the Latvian nation has maintained its identity throughout the generations via its language and musical traditions. Established as an independent country in 1918, its separate status was interrupted by the Second World War and its subsequent incorporation into the Soviet system and state. After the fall of the Soviet empire, Latvia and its fellow Baltic nations achieved true independence through the marvelously named Singing Revolution with Latvia reaching this milestone in August 1991.

Through the recently aired BBC programme, 'The Hairy Bikers Northern Exposure', we have re-acquainted with our colourful neighbours from the Baltics. The Hairy Bikers serve up a dish full of the splendour of Baltic culture, history, architecture and last, but not least, the traditional Baltic cuisine. The programme shows us all there is to know about comfort food from across the Baltic Sea region. Latvia, with the coastal region toward the Baltic sea, offers great traditional dishes with fresh fish and sea food, alongside wonderfully coloured salads and pickled condiments drawing on Russian and Polish influences. 

Places to visit while on your Latvia holidays:

Riga is by no means Latvia's only place of interest for Latvia holidays. To escape the city for some relaxation, Latvians head for Sigulda. Often referred to as 'Little Switzerland', it is less than 1 hour from Riga and is an ideal day trip. It includes a rare combination of a medieval castle, picturesque national park, eerie caves and for the more active, even a bobsleigh run!

Just a little further than Sigulda lies Cesis, which has a wonderful old town, as well as the famous Cesis brewery.  

For coastal and spa holidays there is Jurmala, Latvia's premier spa resort town, situated on the Riga Gulf coast, just 15 miles from Riga. It's known both as a beach resort, with its 20 miles of fine white sand beaches edged by vast pine forests, and as a spa resort, offering a range of relaxation and health programmes. You can also find picturesque wooden summer cottages built over 100 years ago, which make an interesting contrast to the Soviet era compounds built for the enjoyment of Communist Party chiefs, in what was one of their favourite summer resorts. 

Approximately 1 hour south of Riga lies the Bauska region, near the Lithuanian border. The region is famed for its manor houses, castles and palaces from medieval to classical. Not to be missed is the Rundale Palace, which is Latvia's answer to Versailles. Built in the 1730's as a summer home for the Duke of Courland, it was created by the same architect who designed the infamous Winter Palace in St Petersburg.  

If you watched War and Peace on BBC, here is your chance to visit the stunning War and Peace locations. Contact us to follow in the footsteps of the filming of War and Peace.

Latvia holidays have a lot to offer. It's not just a city break destination, but also an enjoyable destination for a longer trip to explore this diverse and interesting country.

We know Latvia and we can take you there.

Hi Julija

Thank you for your email.

Marilyn and I had an awesome time in the Baltics and Copenhagen, Denmark.

The history is unbelievable, the buildings are beautiful, the people just amazing, very friendly and  oh! very strong, when we heard their lives explained. 

The guide was just so good and very informative, friendly and interesting with all the little facts.  Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have had such a tremendously difficult history, which I knew nothing about ...

Estonia invented marzipan for depression.......how good is that! I love marzipan(especially chocolate covered).

Estonia invented Skype......Wow......

I want to thank you for all the planning, the emails, making sure everything was correctly done, you did a  superb job, everything went smoothly.

We had one big problem, you asked for double/twin room, so when we arrived we had a double bed with twin mattresses!  Not good.......we were moved to other rooms....which was not what we anticipated doing.

Few comments; which we took as an adventure so didn’t spoil our trip.

Ryanair was a joke of an airline.. Disorganised chaos, the Priority probably saved our sanity....

The best hotel was by far THE GRAND POET, absolutely one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. ( I was in Zanzibar last year and thought that hotel was awesome).

We had champagne for breakfast, the food, service and well being of the guests was paramount and they are just awesome at what they do.

In Copenhagen, The Admiralty Hotel...well what a location, the hotel was so quirky, we loved every minute of it, they upgraded our room because of bed mix up and we overlooked the Opera House,  (designed by same Architect as Sydney Opera House, but certainly not as aesthetically good as Sydney, I attach photo from our twin room), the service, food and of course location was superb.

In Lithuania, unfortunately hotel was not as 5 star as the other 2, service was acceptable, no one to bring bags inside on arrival, staff certainly not as friendly, food was good.

Tallinn Radisson was really good, service, food and helpfulness, enjoyed staying there.

Our transfers were excellent and on time, although arriving in Lithuania and taken to hotel, he unloaded our bags in the street and went, and of course as it was late arrival, no one from hotel came out.....

We thoroughly enjoyed the Baltics and now we will keep a look out for all news from there, we hope their future is free and the economy excellent, we of course,  will tell everyone they must go. 

I’ve been to most countries now, but there was something special about this trip, I certainly learned a lot of sad but people power history and it’s unbelievable towns, cities, churches, cathedrals.....

This experience would now have been possible, if the planning had not been so good...and that comes down to you....so Thank you.

Dear Inga

We returned from our holiday today and hasten to assure you that all the arrangements went without a hitch. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our introduction to the Baltics, and in the company of a very international group which added another dimension. Our thanks for letting us tap into your expertise!

Good evening Inga

Thanks for your e mail.

We had a really good holiday.
In general all your arrangements worked well.
It was 4 new country’s for us and we enjoyed getting to know each of them.
We liked all of the individual locations and we found them all interesting to explore. After some thought we felt that we probable liked Riga the best.
Weather was wonderful for the first few days, up to 30deg, but it became much cooler and wetter for Tallinn and Helsinki.
Hotel in Vilnius was very good and those in Riga and Tallinn were good.
We are not sure what our future plans for holidays are at the moment, but hopefully we will get the chance to talk to you again about other destinations.
Thanks and regards
Derrick & Sheila

Hi Daina. Thanks for your email. Apologies for not writing immediately – I’ve been trying to shake off a cold I picked up in Tallinn.

We missed you in Riga! Hope you had a lovely New Year.

The tour was great, thank you – all the flights and transfers went smoothly and Baltic Vision did a very good job of delivering the tour itself. The English-speaking group was a perfect size and our charming guide, Valdis, was excellent.

Thanks for setting it all up so well, and for sending out such a well-prepared pack of information, Daina. I particularly appreciate how much effort you and the team put into answering my queries.

 

All the best,

Heather

Hello Daina

Excellent trip. Airport transfers very good. Friendly driver who gave us lots of information. Went to kgb and occupation museum.  Did two guided walks old and new town. Took the train to jumala. Had a look at the market.enjoyed the park with a canal boat trip. Really enjoyed the cafes and food and a cocktail at the skyline radioson.  Beautiful city with plenty of colour in flower bed. Everyone so nice.
