Latvia is situated on the coast of Baltic Sea and is bordered by Estonia to the N, Lithuania to the S, Russia to the E, Belarus on the SE, and the Baltic Sea on the W.

The most famous travel spot is the capital Riga, a World Heritage Site and also popular place for nightlife. It is full of cobbled streets and marvellous art-nouveau architecture and is one of Eastern Europe's most fun cities. There are also many other great places to see, both urban and rural, such as Liepaja with its unique former secret military town of Karosta and a magnificent beach. Kuldiga with Europe`s widest waterfall and Cesis with its medieval castle ruins are also interesting. Tourists can also enjoy the wild beauty of Latvia's unspoilt sea coast, which is 500 km long and consists mainly of white, soft sandy beaches. Forests, which cover approximately a half of Latvia's territory, offer many nature trails and nature parks.
