n 150 tourist attraction sites n TOP 10 regional sites

n Tourism association of Latgale recommends

n Tourist Information Centres

In Latgale you can marvel at the beauty of lakes, birch fo-rests, migrating birds and white clouds. Escape from the no-isy city, to a place where people sincerely welcome their gu-ests with traditional hospitality, where peaceful mornings greet the sunrise, where cornflowers blossom on hilltops.

Latgale is known for its rolling landscape and many lakes. As a result it is sometimes referred to as “the land of blue lakes”. Here are two of Latvia’s largest lakes: Lubāns and Rāzna.

Latgale is a region with its own strong traditions, and a unique history which has been influenced by neighbouring countries. Latgale is so different from the rest of Latvia that it sometimes feels like another country.

Latgalians have strong traditions in pottery and baking as well as numerous religions - Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox and Old Believers live side by side. Latgale is also called the land of Mara or Mary. Its most sacred place is Aglona Basili-ca where every year thousands of piligrims gather.

Dear visitor to Latgale!
