Our Latvia guided tours are an exciting yet low-impact way to get to know the middle of the Baltic countries.

Set out on an all-encompassing adventure of the Baltic capitals—journeying from Warsaw to Riga and on to Tallinn. Join a Local Expert in the Polish capital for an insider’s take on the city’s sights before hopping the Lithuanian border to Vilnius. After exploring the Old Town and the Gates of Dawn, the Gothic Trakai Castle beckons—an island fortress and architectural masterpiece on Lake Galve, that can only be accessed by wooden footbridge. Get to grips with Latvia as you barter with local stallholders at Riga’s Central Market—located in the massive aircraft hangers that once housed Zeppelins. Across the border in Tallinn, take your pick with the Insight Choice of a town hall square walking tour or a stroll through the Old Town to discover Estonian artisans.

What to Eat in Latvia
Premium Dining on Every Tour
Latvia dishes will almost always feature rye bread, whether on the plate or as an ingredient. This country’s cuisine has many Balkan hallmarks like pork, smoked fish, and root vegetables such as carrots and potatoes.
It’s no slight to Latvia that dark rye bread is a cornerstone of Latvia cuisine. Called Rupjmaize, this traditional bread is uniquely sour and sweet and pairs well with cheese.
Pelēkie zirņi ar speķi is one of the Latvia dishes that locals consider a national staple. This Baltic pea soup also features onions and speck for a hearty winter meal.
If you want a Latvia food that’s a true Latvian specialty, try sklandrausis. This root vegetable pastry tart was awarded Traditional Specialty Guaranteed by the European commission.

Did You Know?
Riga has some of the world’s finest art nouveau architecture.
Though the Art Nouveau Movement originated in Belgium, Latvia’s capital city is regarded as one of the best places in the world to see art nouveau architecture. Riga was founded in the 1200s and medieval history is still visible in the city center. However, the city’s structures underwent changes in the 19th century when a neoclassical style was adopted. Art nouveau was embraced in the early 1900s and now nearly 400 art nouveau buildings are found throughout the city.
