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.
Co-authors Stephen Baister and Chris Patrick have visited Latvia on numerous occasions. Stephen is a judge and has a background in legal representation of clients with interests in eastern Europe. Chris works in international research and consultancy; she has assisted a number of organisations from eastern Europe.
