REGIONS OF LATVIA
__________________________________________________________________________
KURZEME
____________________
West Latvia

Kurzeme’s (Courland) cultural and historic heritage is as colourful as the long woolen skirts of the Suiti womenfolk, and as diverse as the natural surroundings of the Liiv-inhabited Baltic Sea coast. Come see for yourself!

Vidzeme
____________________
North Latvia

Rocky coastline, hills, gorges and valleys, lush locales along the banks  of the Gauja River – these are just some of the unforgettable features  of Vidzeme Province, which covers the central and northern parts of  Latvia. Why not get to know Vidzeme by boat, bicycle or during a good  concert at the outdoor Sigulda Castle stage or the new, modern Vidzeme  Concert Hall in charming Cēsis. Vidzeme is a perfect place for those  hungry for the more extreme kinds of recreation - it is a treasure trove  for nature lovers, aficionados of art and life!

Latgale
____________________
East Latvia

Latgale is the only region in Latvia that has its own language that is still widely used, as well as a dominating religion - Catholicism. The language and religion determine to a great extent the different mentality and strong traditions of Latgalians.

Latgale is often called the "Land of Blue Lakes". In the area between Aglona, Krāslava and Ezernieki, the largest number of lakes in Latvia are congregated. Several of the lakes are interconnected, and boaters have grown to like the route from Lake Drīdža to Lake Jazinkas during which you will cross a total of five lakes.
The Daugava old valley "Daugavas loki" nature park extends from Krāslava to Daugavpils, and tourist and nature trails have been created along the steep, picturesque banks that lead visitors around and over old Latvian castle mounds.

Zemgale
____________________
South Latvia

The largest part of Zemgale is flat, which makes it different from the other regions that have both uplands and deep river valleys. Zemgale boasts one of the most fertile grain fields in Northern Europe, something that has ensured the prosperity of the region for many successive centuries.

Zemgale’s castles and manor houses offer an opportunity to see the remaining evidence of luxury and prosperity of older times. And it is Zemgale in which is located one particularly significant baroque architecture monument - Rundāle Palace.
