There are a number of airports in Latvia. However, not all Latvia airports have regularly scheduled flights. We do not list the smallest Latvia airports, since there is no way to provide you flights from those airports. AirGorilla offers flights, hotels, and rental car reservations for Latvia.
Latvia, officially the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvija or Latvijas Republika), is a country in Northern Europe. Latvia shares land borders with two fellow Baltic states – Estonia to the north and Lithuania to the south – and both Russia and Belarus to the east. In the west, Latvia shares a maritime border with Sweden. The capital of Latvia is Riga. Latvia has been a member state of the European Union since May 1, 2004.
Large parts of Latvia are covered by forests, and the country has over 12,000 small rivers and over 3,000 lakes. Most of the country consists of fertile, low-lying plains with some hills in the east, the highest point being the Gaizinkalns at 1,020 feet (311.6 m). An inlet of the Baltic Sea, the shallow Gulf of Riga is situated in the northwest of the country. The capital city Riga is located on the shores of this inlet, where the River Daugava flows into it. Other major cities include Daugavpils further upriver and Liepaja along the Baltic coast. The Latvian climate is maritime and temperate in nature, with cool summers and wet, moderate winters.
Latvians and Livonians, the indigenous peoples of Latvia, now form circa 60% of the population; 28.5% of the inhabitants are Russian. Circa 54% of the ethnic Russians are citizens of Latvia; most of the others are permanent residents with Latvian aliens' passports. Like others who arrived whilst Latvia occupied by the USSR, and their descendants, they must be naturalized to receive Latvian citizenship. In some large cities (e.g. Daugavpils and Rezekne), Russians and other minorities outnumber Latvians. ()
