Latvia's coach hire market centres on Riga, the largest city in the Baltic states with a population of around 700,000. Riga's UNESCO-listed Old Town and Art Nouveau district are world-class attractions that draw group travel year-round. The city is the primary hub for Baltic coach tour operators combining all three Baltic capitals, and Riga International Airport (RIX) is the busiest airport in the region with connections across Europe. Jurmala, a beach resort 25 km west on the Gulf of Riga, generates strong leisure demand through summer.
Latvia is a full EU and Schengen member and adopted the Euro in 2014. Cross-border travel to Estonia and Lithuania involves no border stops. Coaches on the Via Baltica (E67) route move freely between all three Baltic capitals. Riga's Old Town streets are too narrow for full-size coaches -- the standard perimeter drop-off points are on Kalku iela and the riverside embankment. Latvia uses right-hand traffic and road quality is good on the main highway network, though some rural roads require caution in winter. The Latvian Song and Dance Festival, held every 5 years in Riga (next in 2028), is the largest group transport event in the Baltic region.
