An all-year-round destination
Latvia has it all, from extensive forests to lovely sandy beaches, lakes, and rivers. About half of Latvia's land area is made up of a natural ecosystem that is largely undeveloped. Everyone now has a fantastic opportunity to go out of the city and enjoy what nature has to offer. All four seasons can be experienced to the utmost, making it a fantastic tourist destination all year long!
A run of hot, dry days may be experienced during the brief summers, although showers and cool nights are also possible during this time. Along with your T-shirts, don't forget to carry a warm sweater and waterproof jacket. Mid-September onwards sees a sharp drop in temperature, but autumn may still be a stunning time of year to go because of the contrast between the dark-green pines and the deciduous trees' golden-brown foliage.
Mid-November can see the first snowfalls, and by early to mid-December, winter has fully descended. Winter may, of course, be a lovely period, with frozen lakes, rivers, and vast stretches of the Baltic Sea, as well as crunchy snow that gives medieval city centers a magical air. Without a four-wheel-drive car, it can be challenging to access rural places, and you'll need to be well-prepared to endure all but the shortest of walks. In the cold, a hat or other head protection is a must wherever you are.
The countryside can stay drab and grey even after the spring thaw arrives until well into April (or even May in northern Estonia), when a sudden explosion of color changes the appearance of the surroundings. While city dwellers rush in a frenzy to the pavement cafés, the countryside assumes a lush greenness that draws cattle and horses out of their winter barns.
