Latvia
Latvia sits at the eastern edge of the Baltic Sea, a country of pine forests, amber coastline, and quiet river valleys that stretch toward the Russian border. Riga dominates national life, a city whose art nouveau architecture rivals anything in central Europe, while the countryside empties into a slow rhythm of farmsteads and medieval manor houses.
About Latvia
Overview
Latvia occupies the central position among the three Baltic states, bordered by Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, Russia and Belarus to the east, and the Gulf of Riga to the west. The capital, Riga, is home to roughly a third of the population. Latvian is the official language; Russian remains widely spoken. The currency is the euro. The culture carries layered influences — Baltic, Germanic, Soviet — visible in architecture, cuisine, and civic memory.
