Latvia Located between the Baltic sea and the two other Baltic countries, less than one hour’s flight away from Stockholm and Helsinki, Latvia is a country that surprises those who visit for the first time. There is something dreamlike about this place, with its gentle and scenic nature, rolling hills, proximity to the 500 km long coastline, pine tree forests and medieval towns. We call it “the country that sings”, since Latvian folk tradition and music is so deeply rooted in its people.
