We are very often attracted by distant cities with their own culture, variety of architectural and historical monuments. However, we often neglect our neighboring countries. These include Latvia, which is popular with tourists. There is something to see here. First of all, it is, of course, the capital of Latvia - Riga, with a perfectly preserved Old Town, which, it seems, has not been touched at all for years and centuries. In addition to the capital, there are plenty of equally amazing places in the country, albeit less well-known. That is why, if you use such a service as bus tours, Latvia will open to travelers from a completely different side.
Bus is more convenient
For those who travel to Europe for cultural and educational purposes, travel by tourist bus will undoubtedly be the best option.
- Firstly, this method differs from all others in a relatively inexpensive price.
- Secondly, a tourist in a fairly short period of time will be able to see a large number of sights and hear a lot of information about Latvia.
- Thirdly, bus tours allow you to get acquainted not only with how urban Latvians live, but also to feel the national spirit of the country while traveling in the hinterland. Finally, during such a trip, tourists will taste many dishes of national cuisine.
A little about the beautiful
In addition to the magnificent Riga, which is the capital of the state, travelers will definitely visit several more places that have played an important role in the history of the country.
Jelgava can rightfully be considered the greenest city in Latvia. In these beautiful places, there are a lot of different protected and park areas, which are home to many representatives of various species of birds, as well as fish. There are also a lot of different palaces made in a luxurious baroque style.
Another ancient city of the country, a must-see during a bus tour, is Ventspils. Almost every street in the Old City Center is lined with extraordinary tiles. The sight of a tourist will surely catch on in silent admiration for the unique compositions of local fountains and pyramids of fresh flowers. There are also many different historical buildings, including the medieval Ventspils castle.
Latvia is rich not only in ancient cities - there are many wonderful resorts in the country. The main and most picturesque of them is Jurmala. It is noteworthy that the resort was formed at the beginning of the 19th century and is one of the oldest in Europe.
Latvia is such a measured and calm country that it is worth going here on vacation to take a break from the bustle and everyday life of a big city and restore vitality.
