LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS LATVIA

COLOURFUL MARKETS

With its truly old world town centre, picturesque wooden architecture, glorious Art Nouveau buildings and one of Europe’s best markets, you may never venture beyond Riga. But that would be a shame.

Riga is, undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of Latvia. Its grand churches, like The Dom and St Peter’s, are worth the journey in themselves. And then there are the museums and galleries, the tiny cobbled streets winding their way to quaint squares, the ancient houses and fine civic buildings.

Not to mention the restaurants, cafes and bars, the nightlife, the cultural traditions and the largest and most colourful street market in the whole of Eastern Europe – a jovial scene of lively bartering, endless stalls and a bustling crowd of local buyers, buskers and street musicians. Think of a more modern version of a Brueghel painting and you’ll be able to picture the scene.

Talk to our specialists, and they’ll suggest soaking up the atmosphere of the Medieval streets, in between visits to any of the city’s eight opera houses.

But beyond Riga lies a country with 500 km of beautiful coastline peppered with sandy beaches. You’ll find an unchanged rural lifestyle in an unspoilt countryside dotted with forests, lakes and waterfalls, nature reserves and national parks galore.

Plus any number of fascinating small towns rich in local folklore, just waiting to be discovered.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
