'A wealth of practical information.' The Yorkshire Post
Product Description
Latvia possesses the largest and most cosmopolitan capital of the Baltic states, and visitors to Riga will find their interests well catered for in this guide – from museums, art nouveau buildings and opera to casinos, bars and jazz clubs. For visitors touring the peaceful Latvian countryside, a host of options is covered: Jurmala's sandy beaches, Gauja National Park and quaint provincial villages all merit a visit and are easily discovered with the Bradt guide. This new edition provides more coverage of activity holidays, the coastal town of Liepaja - now readily explorable with summer flights from Riga - and new possibillities for observing wildlife, including the developing nature area at Lake Pape.

Sets the (very high) standard
23 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Latvia is a tiny country, but you'd never know that from browsing this perfectly constructed travel guide. I won't blather on about this book, but suffice to say that it offers the optimum balance between historical, cultural, natural and practical information. Glossy photography? Not here. Buy this book for the quality of its writing. This guide does a particularly good job of explaining to readers how Latvia is not Estonia, not Lithuania, and certainly not Russia. The Baltic states, often (and incorrectly) considered one cultural space, become distinct countries in each of the Bradt guides. This one is especially good.
Lovely Riga, of course, figures prominently, but other fascinating places in Latvia are revealed for you as well, cultural and natural. Since Bradt puts so much effort into their Baltic series, and new editions appear frequently, you can be sure that listings are comprehensive and right up to date. There's no better guide to Latvia than this one.
