Top Travel 
Activities
Although there are a lot of things you can do in Latvia, here is a  
short outline of the top things that potential new Latvian citizens  
should do:
Visit historic Centre of Riga - the UNESCO World Heritage Site with  
lots of cozy cafes, restaurants and packed with history. Besides its  
Gothic old town, Riga is well known for its highly decorative Art  
Nouveau architecture. The Art Nouveau buildings make up  
roughly one-third of all the buildings in the center of Riga, making  
Latvia's capital the city with the highest concentration of Art  
Nouveau architecture anywhere in the world. You can also visit a  
museum dedicated to this style of architecture.
Taste Riga Black Balsam, an iconic alcohol drink made in Latvia  
for more than 250 years. It consists of 24 natural ingredients,  
including 17 herbs and spices and has won more than 100 awards  
at international fairs throughout its history.
•Visit the Moscow district of Riga. It is home to a lot of Riga’s  
wooden architecture and has a unique atmosphere and character  
that is totally different from the rest of the city. The official title of  
this suburb is the ‘Latgales priekšpilsēta’ but to locals it is known  
as the Moscow district or ‘Maskachka’, since it is situated along the 
 road heading towards Moscow.
•Shop in Riga Central Market. It is the largest market in Latvia  
where you will find a range of authentic Latvian delicacies. The  
market is a hundred years old and is part of the UNESCO World  
Heritage Site. The main structures of the market are five pavilions  
constructed by reusing old Zeppelin hangars and incorporating  
Neoclassicism and Art Deco styles.
Enjoy the scenery at Gauja National Park. This park in Vidzeme  
region is the largest national park in Latvia and the most beautiful  
one. Besides its lush nature and scenery, it is also known for its  
many historical structures. Covering a large swath of the Gauja  
river valley, it surrounds the town of Cēsis and its 13th-century  
castle. Medieval Turaida Castle, with its tall tower, anchors the  
Turaida Museum-Reserve. While in Gauja National Park you can  
also visit Folk Song Park, with granite sculptures inspired by  
Latvian folklore. While visiting Sigulda - another town close by –  
you can view ruins of one more castle built by Livonian Order.
•Learn about Latvian history in Turaida Castle. The castle was  
build 800 years ago by Catholic military order called Livonian  
Brothers of the Sword as part of their attempt to conquer Latvian  
territory and baptize local population.
•Take a bath in the sea in Jūrmala, just west of Riga. This  
seaside resort is known for its wooden and Art Nouveau seaside 
 villas, Soviet-era sanatoriums and long, sandy Jūrmala Beach.
