Nature

Vidzeme is one of the four historic regions in Latvia and is located in the north-east of Latvia. You will remember Vidzeme for its beautiful nature, varied cultural and historical heritage and folk traditions.

In Vidzeme you can enjoy the picturesque beauty of rivers and lakes, rejoice in the landscapes of forests, meadows, hills and valleys, feel the history in medieval castles, manors and romantic parks. The oldest towns of Vidzeme keep the most significant cultural and architectural heritage, each with its own charm, history and culture.

Tourists are drawn by the varied offer for active tourism – adventure parks, water tourism and bicycle routes, skiing hills and tracks, as well as countryside houses and workshops of various crafts for leisurely holidays with enjoying the goodies of countryside, taking baths and learning one of the ancient Latvian crafts.
