Europe Latvia Riga Tourist Information Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The guide was updated:
The best time to visit the Baltic States is late spring or summer when there’s usually fine, warm weather to stroll around the cities and make significant forays into the great outdoors. Temperatures cool down rapidly from mid-September onward, although autumn can be an extraordinarily beautiful season to visit Latvia, with the golden brown leaves of deciduous trees contrasting with the dark-green pines.
