When to go
The best season to visit Latvia is
summer, from June to August. The temperatures are mild during the day, and lend themselves to outdoor activities, while nights remain cool. There is a moderate amount of rainfall, which occurs on average one day out of three.
If you want to visit the country in its
winter appearance, February is preferable to December because it has longer days, although it is often even colder.
What to pack
In
winter: bring very warm clothes, such as a down jacket, a hat, gloves, and a scarf.
In
summer: bring clothes for spring and autumn, being ready to add or remove the outer layer, a T-shirt, but also long pants, a jacket and sweatshirt, and a raincoat or umbrella.
