Latvia, an enclave of serenity and beauty, is positioned strategically in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. Surrounded by Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, and the vast expanses of Russia and Belarus to the east, this Northern gem covers a staggering area of 64,589 km². Riga, its capital, is a concoction of historic allure and modern European sophistication.

Latvia's history is rich and diverse, shaped by ancient trade routes with Rome and Byzantium, German rule in the 12th century, and Polish and Lithuanian dominance post the Livonian War. Later, the Russian influence spread across Latvia post the 1863 January Uprising.

Economic and social transformations swept the country in the 19th century, giving rise to an urban proletariat and a bourgeoisie class. Latvia declared de facto independence in 1918, though it endured a series of occupations during the tumult of World War II. Finally, the Singing Revolution of 1987 restored Latvia's independence, which it officially proclaimed in 1991. Today, Latvia is a high-income economy and a proud member of numerous international organisations, boasting a rich multicultural environment.

When to visit Latvia

Blessed with a temperate seasonal climate, Latvia can be visited throughout the year, but late spring and summer are particularly delightful. The short summer, from mid-June to late August, can bring both sultry, dry days and brief showers, often followed by cool, starlit nights; a perfect recipe for exploring Latvia's stately manors, historic towns, and pristine nature parks.

Winter, while chillier, also casts a magical spell over the country. Lakes and rivers freeze over, snow falls softly, and the Baltic Sea transforms into an icy spectacle. Cosy up in one of the winter resorts or urban havens that Latvia offers and experience nature's magic even in the heart of winter. Book your Latvian escape with LycaFly today and uncover the variety of experiences Latvia has in store, one season at a time.
