Frequently Asked Questions
Do Peruvian citizens need a visa for Latvia?
No. Latvia is a Schengen member and Peru has full Schengen visa-free access. Peruvian passport holders can enter Latvia for up to 90 days within any 180-day Schengen period without a visa.
What is the Art Nouveau district in Riga?
Riga has one of the finest collections of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture in the world. Approximately one third of the buildings in the central Riga were built in this ornate early-20th-century style, featuring elaborate facades with faces, flowers, and mythological figures. The Alberta Iela and Elizabetes streets are the best streets to walk for Art Nouveau buildings. The Art Nouveau Museum (located in a preserved apartment) offers an excellent interior view.
Is the Baltic states tour (Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania) feasible for Peruvian travelers?
Yes. A classic Baltic triangle tour is very feasible on the Schengen visa-free allowance. The three capitals are connected by efficient bus services (Lux Express, FlixBus) and the EuroCity train. A 7-day itinerary allows approximately 2 to 3 days in each capital: Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. All three countries use the euro and English is widely spoken in tourist areas.
What is Latvia famous for in terms of food and drink?
Latvian cuisine features hearty dishes suited to the cold Baltic climate: rye bread (maizes klaipi), smoked fish, grey peas with bacon (pilseti zirni ar speฤทi), and potato pancakes (kartupeฤผu pankลซkas) are staples. Riga Black Balsam is a famous Latvian herbal liqueur with a distinctive bitter taste. The Central Market in Riga (housed in former Zeppelin hangars) is one of Europe's largest and best food markets.
