About Latvia
Latvia is one of the countries counted among the historic and scenic coastal states of the Baltic Sea in the Schengen Area. Its capital, Riga, founded in 1201, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a city of splendor with amazing architecture and cultural heritage. Latvia, with a population of about 1.79 million, offers an azure, quiet life embraced by large forests; hence about half of the territory is forested, festooned with national parks and hiking trails. While Latvian is the official language, a large part of the population speaks Russian, thus rendering the country a diverse land.
Latvia connects well on the transport level with Western Europe and Russia, while on the cultural level, there is a historical connection interlinking it. It is often, and rightfully described as a lively center where tradition and modernity meet. Economically, Latvia is a small yet flexible member of the European Union and the euro area, with prominent sectors in logistics, timber, manufacturing, and IT. Latvia continues to invest in infrastructure and innovation to strengthen its position as a regional hub and ensure long-term competitiveness.
