Latvia

From the medieval streets of Riga to the vast forests, wild coastlines and quiet boglands beyond, Latvia is one of the Baltic’s most rewarding slow-travel destinations. This guide takes you through a country where nature and culture are deeply intertwined, from canoeing and birdwatching in pristine national parks to discovering saunas, local gastronomy and centuries-old traditions in small rural communities. Compact, uncrowded and rich in atmosphere, Latvia offers an authentic Northern European experience that feels both grounded and undiscovered.
