Latvia

Latvia's cities and countryside can easily be enjoyed by bicycle – you can go wherever you want and stop when and where you wish. Depending on the route you take, you may see magnificent castles, beautiful coastlines, mysterious woods or vibrant old city centres. Wild camping is allowed everywhere in the country, which makes it very easy to explore remote places. Make sure to visit the beautiful Livonian coast and to stop in Riga to admire its Art Nouveau buildings!

We do not have an official National EuroVelo Coordination Centre or Coordinator in this country at the moment. To assist people wanting to cycle the EuroVelo routes we have collected the information displayed on this page but please be aware that the ECF is not responsible for this content.

National Information

Latvian bicycle information centre

The Latvian bicycle information centre is a bicycle tourism organisation founded in Riga in 1991. Their website contains a lot of information and maps for domestic routes and bicycle tourism in Latvia. However, much of it is currently only available in Latvia, so send any questions about EuroVelo 10 and 11 to their e-mail address: [email protected] and they will try and provide all the necessary information - route descriptions, public transport, cycle friendly services, rental facilities etc.
