About Latvia

Brimming with historical enigmas and natural wonder, Latvia is a Northern European country, constituting one of the three Baltic states. It shares borders with Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Belarus, and has a maritime border with Sweden to the west. Riga, the largest city, serves as the country's capital and is the heart of Latvia's cultural, educational, political, financial, and industrial activities. The city's noteworthy Art Nouveau architecture and medieval Old Town add to its enchanting allure. About 50% of Latvia is covered by forest, making it one of Europe's greenest countries. This woodland abundance gives birth to a network of nature trails, wildlife reserves, and national parks, with Gauja National Park being a prominent one. Latvia is also celebrated for its culture-rich traditions such as the Latvian Song and Dance Festival, acknowledged by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. The economy is diverse and rapidly advancing with sectors like information technology, logistics, and telecommunications playing crucial roles. As a member of the European Union, NATO, the Council of Europe, the United Nations, and the WTO, Latvia continues to contribute significantly on the international stage. Despite a complex history of various occupations, Latvia’s cultural identity remained unscathed, highlighted by its Latvian and Livonian languages and folklore.
