LATVIA
In Latvia we know how to catch the moment.
The dawn by the river, the dew on the blade of grass, handful of freshly picked forest berries, the smell of the sea breeze, the warmth of the send on the beach. It is so simple as coming to visit to see for yourself.
Cities have much to offer in terms of culture and history, the people of Latvia have always had a very special bond with nature. You'll see why as you experience the quiet magic of Latvia's rolling countryside, enchanting forests and splendid coasts.
Riga is a historical Hanseatic city with a fascinating Old Town, narrow streets and stone pavements. Germans, Swedes, Jews, Poles and Russians have all left their mark on Riga, and specially breathtaking is the plenty and beaty of Art Nouveau. Riga for clubing, Riga for gourmans, Riga for Youth, Riga for artists
This is Riga.
Inspiration Riga.
RUSSIA
Russia is one of the largest countries in the world. The history of Russian state is a remarkable one. Russia was initially a link between Western and Eastern civilizations. The role of Russia in the development of global culture and education is great.
Moscow and St. Petersburg are the centers of cultural life of Russia.
Moscow is the capital of Russia. Every year thousands of tourists come here to admire its streets, theatres, museums, parks and other places of interest.
St. Petersburg is a city of magic beauty, a city of marvellous "white nights", a city of broad straight avenues, green parks and countless bridges and canals.
It is also very interesting to visit Russian old towns of "The Golden Ring". "The Golden Ring" is the name of the north-eastern part of what used to be the State of Muskovy which is famous for its historical monuments of old Russian architecture.
You are also welcome to other Russian cities and towns. And we are sure that you will have a great time.
LITHUANIA
Lithuania lies between Western and Eastern Europe on a direct route from Germany to Russia. Modern Lithuania is oriented towards Central, Northern and Western Europe and enjoys good relations with all its neighbors.
Although small and less than spectacular, Lithuania boasts attractions ranging from the intriguing Curonian Spit and the strange Hill of Crosses to the urban Pleasures of Vilnius, the historic, lively capital.
Vilnius is a town so easy to come, and so hard to leave for many. A huge old town with its numerous architectural surprises is something few European cities could match in terms of beauty or coziness. It is the largest Old Town in Eastern Europe, a UNESCO heritage site. Not
to mention the local people, Lithuanians, who in general are regarded as kind and openhearted.
You are most welcome to spend a couple of days in Vilnius, the city of breathing history and sparkling life.
