Latvia

By Travelog Editorial Team · Updated August 8, 2026

Latvia is live on Travelog with one city, Riga, whose Historic Centre was inscribed by UNESCO in 1997, credited for a quality and quantity of Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, architecture unparalleled anywhere in the world. St Peter's Church offers a genuinely different kind of tower visit, an elevator carries visitors to a 72-meter viewing platform rather than a stair climb.

Riga's documented distinction is a genuinely superlative claim, UNESCO credits its Art Nouveau architecture as unmatched anywhere in the world, and St Peter's Church offers a rare, elevator-accessed alternative to the stair climbs common at most other European towers. Its landmark page is live now.
