Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Latvia: What You Need to Know
Latvia is the middle of the three Baltic states, a small EU and Schengen member of 1.8 million people. Riga, its capital, has the largest collection of Art Nouveau architecture in the world (over 800 buildings) and a beautifully preserved medieval old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Latvia has forests covering over half its territory, a dynamic craft beer and food scene, and a long Baltic coastline including the Art Nouveau resort town of Jurmala (30 minutes from Riga). The country was occupied by the Soviet Union from 1940-1991 and has since rapidly integrated into EU and NATO structures.
How to Get There
Riga is about 2.5 hours by direct flight from Luxembourg or nearby airports. Ryanair, airBaltic, and Wizz Air serve Riga. By car, Riga is approximately 19 hours from Luxembourg.
Money & Banking
Latvia uses the euro (EUR). Riga is among the most affordable EU capitals: restaurant meals EUR 8-18, hotel rooms EUR 50-100/night, excellent craft beer for EUR 3-4. The Central Market food hall is outstanding value for local produce, smoked fish, and dairy.
Practical Tips
