Best places to visit in Latvia
- Riga: This is the capital of Latvia, and it's by far one of the most popular places to visit in the country. The old town neighborhood has a medieval look, and yet most of the architecture was built at the end of the 20th century. The Centrs neighborhood is the home of roughly 800 intact art nouveau buildings.
- Sigulda: If you drive about an hour from Riga, you will find the town of Sigulda. It sits in the Gauja River Valley, which offers fantastic forest scenery plus beautiful architecture. Here you will find ruined castles, such as the Sigulda Medieval Castle Ruins and the Krimulda Castle.
- Jurmala: If you cannot go on vacation without hitting the water, then you can take a short drive to the Gulf of Riga to the town of Jurmala. This is one of the largest resort towns on the Baltic Sea and offers one of the longest stretches of sandy beaches in northern Europe. The town also has an abundance of breathtaking architecture made entirely of wood.
Winter in Latvia
Just because the winter weather in Latvia might be a little chilly doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things to do and explore. The winter makes a great time to see one of the many productions offered by the Latvian National Opera and Ballet. If you want to experience the ride of a lifetime, you can make a run down one of the only bobsled tracks in the Baltics. During the winter, rides are carried out by the vucko, which translates to "soft bob."

Excellent choice if you want to rent a car and travel Latvia. My first time renting a car in Latvia so I was bit scared if I would get scammed or something else but nothing happend, the staff were very friendly to us and explained everything that we need to know
So I took a Toyota rav4, bcz all economic cars were reserved. I enjoy it so much, I had unlimited mileage so It was perfect for me bcz I did like 1000 or more miles,
Also driving a new car with so many sensors that helped me driving through Latvia countryside.
On our way back to deliver the car, we called for a live check in the morning and when we arrived in the airport parking area a very nice guy, friendly and with a big smile, asked us to make the online check of the car.
Thanks sixt_Latvia for this experience,
I cannot wait to drive again :)
