Courland

The western part of Latvia, once an autonomous Duchy, is considered the richest part of Latvia. Here you will find Kuldiga, a super charming UNESCO listed small town, as well as the harbor city Liepaja with its music scene and lots of local vineries and farms where one can stop for tours and tastings. The coastline, with its string of charming villages where the locals smoke their fish, is the perfect hiking route for those who prefer to walk on flat lands.
