Getting To Know Today's Latvia
Latvia is one of Europe's great "get-away-from-it-all" discoveries. In whichever direction you strike out from Riga, the capital, you will rapidly discover new facets of the country. Head north east and within an hour you're at the medieval town of Sigulda, a base for exploring the Gauja National Park, with a castle, hotels, restaurants and a host of sporting activities. Nearby is Turaida Castle, set on a hill that was an ancient fortress of the Liv people. Near the centre of the park is Cesis, a town of cobbled streets and wooden houses almost unaltered by the Soviets and rated a national treasure.

Riga Region 
It is useful when going on a trip to learn about the country where one finds oneself, and in every part of the Riga region there are various tourism routes and guide services. Irrespective of whether you want to travel in a group or alone, on foot or on a bus you’ll find what you are looking for. There are also hiking routes available for those people who want to get away from the city and enjoy the varied natural beauty of the region. Boats and bicycles can be rented so that you can cruise down one of Latvia’s gorgeous rivers or pedal along rural roads at your leisure. You will find special links with nature if you go horseback riding or if you go fishing in one of the region’s many rivers and lakes.
