How to get to Latvia?

Latvia can be accessed by virtually every means of transportation. Maritime transport links the three main seaports (Riga, Liepaja and Ventspils) with the other Baltic Sea countries, there are good railway links with Russia and Belarus, while coach routes have developed rapidly in recent years to link neighboring countries as well as more distant major European cities.

Highways lead into Latvia from Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus and Russia.

Air traffic is growing exponentially. Several low cost airlines have found their way to Latvia as well as long haul flights to the USA.

Currently Riga International Airport is the main hub for air traffic, however regional airports at Liepaja and Ventspils have recently been renovated and are already attracting international charters. An initiative has been launched to encourage more internal flights between Riga and these airports.
