New section added – “Latvia Map” where you will find four maps to help you get around Latvia!

I’ve added business map, that way you will find any company or shop in Riga or across country. And also good streets map, where you can find directions to your hotel or friends house. Plus another good map with tourist objects to see in Latvia – collection of sightseeing and leisure places in Latvia.

I hope this helps your stay in Lettland! ;)

The property boom of Latvia

Sunday September 23rd, 2007 in News | 5 Comments »

Yeah, Latvia and Bulgaria are still the ones to have higher property prices and market of real estate soaring up to the sky.

Many private houses and apartment blocks are yet to be built, besides the market of soviet times houses also keeps selling good. The prices on rent have gotten higher than a year before, and still you don’t hear someone complaining that it is too much.

Experts have given warnings that this property bubble will burst, if measures from government will not be taken, but people say it’s still a profitable business for many local millionaires, that’s is reason why this market is still hot – in other words, it’s not in land lords’ interest to chill it down..

The question is – when will the prices stop, and shall they also drop?..

Riga Pride 2007 blog video

A short but interesting video about “Riga Pride 2007″. Yeah, that’s the same “Pride” that got so much media attention bringing up so much stupid information about Latvia, that even i got ashamed :(


If you can’t see the clip, use this YouTube link – http://youtube.com/watch?v=eV6Lv_QINVw

From my side all i can say that latvians are “not that bad”, and we’re not such a horrible homophobic country. It just happens in many countries, and you have to deal with the fact that there will always be different points of view and there are stupid and educated people, there are peaceful and angry peepz out there in any coutry..
