Latvia in Summer


By Kerry Kubilius
Eastern Europe Travel Expert, about.com

Latvia may be a small country, but if you’re curious about Baltic history and culture, a visit here will be of interest. While Riga claims most tourists during the summer months, the entire country can be toured within only a few days. Consider the possibility of extending your summertime visit to Latvia to destinations outside the capital.


Weather

Summertime weather is tricky in the Baltic nations—hot temperatures are not guaranteed. However, sunshine is more plentiful than during other times of the year, and those who pack smart for travel to Eastern and Central Europe will be most comfortable. That means including garments to layer and dependable shoes in your luggage, particularly when enjoying a tour through the Latvian countryside.


Events

Many of the biggest events in June, July, and August are centered in Riga, but cities throughout Latvia find reasons to celebrate culture, music, and history.

The Riga Festival runs throughout a good part of June.
This festival engages with multimedia shows, theater performances, children’s activities, and more. Similarly, the Daugavpils City Festival celebrates the town’s birth with shows, concerts, and games. The Liepaja Summer Festival also kicks off in June.

Ligo celebrations also take place in June. This recognition of the summer solstice and Latvia’s pagan heritage provide plenty of excuses for selling traditional handicrafts, serving up the homemade Latvia food products such as cheese and smoked meats, and building bonfires for snuggling up to on the shortest night of the year.
Summer music festivals include the Riga Opera Festival, the International Organ Music Festival, and the International Military Orchestra Festival.

Check out the calendar of events for various towns to help you prepare your itinerary or to see what will be on during your visit.


Destinations

Recommended Latvia includes seaside towns, castles hidden in the forest, and a Baroque palace.
Riga is, of course, Latvia’s most popular destination and is splendid during the summer when its green spaces are abloom and the colors of its Art Nouveau urban landscape are particularly saturated. It’s possible to spend a day in Riga and still take in many of its sights. However, particularly if you have a car, a tour of Latvia doesn’t need to take more than three or four days.

Jurmala is nearby Riga and has been an attractive resort city for generations. Gingerbread Art Nouveau cottages nestled in the pine forest by the water are deceptively luxurious. Enjoy white sand beaches and the Baltic Sea.

Smaller towns such as Kuldiga and Ventspils show a different side of Latvia. These less boisterous destinations nevertheless embody charm and give off a calmer vibe than the capital.

Sigulda and Cesis are worthwhile for lovers of medieval history or castle ruins fanatics. These picturesque destinations act like time capsules where it is possible to envision Latvia how it looked centuries ago.

Rundale Palace, on the other hand, recalls the time of the tsars with is Baroque architecture, lavish rooms, and magnificent gardens—which, incidentally, are celebrated with a garden festival just when the roses reach their peak of beauty.  Rundale Palace is a remarkable historic landmark that might seem convenient to miss, but its out-of-the-way location is more than made up for by the careful preservation efforts of the experts who have brought it back from disrepair and continue to work to maintain the many architectural and artistic elements of the palace.
