Latvia

Latvian cities and countryside can easily be enjoyed by bicycle – you can go wherever you want and stop when and where you wish. Depending on the route you take, you may see magnificent castles, beautiful coastlines, mysterious woods or vibrant old city centres.

The best time for cycling in Latvia is from May to October. The four seasons give charm and diverse feelings of travel, sometimes the same route varies when it is flowing in a thriving spring, in the blooming summer, or during the harvest in the autumn. The route is based on an unforgettable natural pleasure – the Baltic Sea coast, green forests, rustling pine groves, deep river valleys, sloping hills, diverse meadows and foodful crop fields. They are complemented by cultural heritage sites such as castles, manor houses, churches, museums and old towns.

Driving conditions are diverse and different. In the largest cities there are safe bike paths, but outside of them cyclists have to share the road with other road users.

When travelling, visit local tourist information centers, which offer high quality and versatile information. Yu will find not only detailed maps and route descriptions but also get useful tips for accommodations and dining options.

We do not have an official National EuroVelo Coordination Centre or Coordinator in this country at the moment. To assist people wanting to cycle the EuroVelo routes we have collected the information displayed on this page but please be aware that the ECF is not responsible for this content.

The Latvian bicycle information centre is a bicycle tourism organisation founded in Riga in 1991. Their website contains a lot of information and maps for domestic routes and bicycle tourism in Latvia. However, much of it is currently only available in Latvia, so send any questions about EuroVelo 10 and 11 to their e-mail address: [email protected] and they will try and provide all the necessary information - route descriptions, public transport, cycle friendly services, rental facilities etc.
