📣 Traveler notes

Latvia, a Baltic nation, features diverse destinations, including the World Heritage Old Town of Riga. Attractions range from the unspoilt 500-km coast and pine forests to unique cities such as Liepāja (known for the Karosta military site) and Kuldīga (home to Europe's widest waterfall).

• New Year's Eve (Jaunā Gada svētki): Common family celebrations are mixed with public events.
• Easter (Lieldienas): Expect traditional festivities in town centers, including activities like egg fights and swings.
• Summer Solstice (Vasaras saulgrieži): Traditional celebrations are held throughout Latvia, notably in Sigulda.
• Maintain personal space; avoid discussing salaries, finances, or sensitive political/religious views until familiarity is established. Littering is illegal. Showing courtesy, such as holding doors or allowing others to board first, is appreciated.
