Introducing Latvia

   Welcome to Latvia

   Latvia is a small yet perfectly formed country. Its compact size makes it easy for visitors to enjoy all the Latvia has to offer from sandy beaches and spectacular landscapes to historical towns and picturesque fishing villages. But it's not just beautiful scenery and an intriguing cultural history that attracts tourists, Latvia's medical tourism industry is growing year on year. Low cost treatment, accessibility and high quality Medical Services all contribute to the increasing number of patients choosing Latvia for their Medical Journey. Another important factor is word-of-mouth. Doctors are finding that patients are telling their friends all about the great standard of care offered in Latvia and a lot of trips are booked due to these recommendations. This small country is offering only the best medical care to travellers. Now's the time to make Latvia the top destination choice for your Medical Journey!

   Latvia is a country which invites exploration! It is a country of contrasts and with its wild, green landscapes, beautiful beaches, buzzing towns and rich cultural heritage, there is something to excite and entice every visitor. The Latvian capital, Riga, has a host of museums, art galleries, restaurants and theatres not to mention amazing architecture and the fascinating historical part of the city, 'Old Riga', but venture just a little way out of Riga, or any Latvian town, and you will find yourself in rolling countryside filled with beautiful forests, pretty meadows, vast stretches of coastline and charming villages. It is this variety coupled with outstanding medical care which attracts medical tourists from all over the world to Latvia. Latvia is part of the EU and adheres to very high Medical Standards. Latvia can offer patients highly qualified medical personnel and world class healthcare facilities on a par with those in Western Europe at a fraction of the cost of treatment in other European Union countries. Latvia is a multicultural country which has absorbed the traditions and experiences of many other European countries whilst retaining its own distinct culture and as a centre for trade for over 800 years, Latvia knows how to welcome visitors! It is a warm, fascinating and beautiful country offering travellers not only a range of top class medical services but also an opportunity to relax and enjoy this stunning country.

   Latvia is around an 8-12 hour flight from the USA and 2 hours from the UK. Although it is a long flight from the US, many travellers find the care available, savings made and the great Latvian atmosphere make the journey more than worthwhile. The official language is Latvian but most locals (and Doctors!) speak some English so communication should not be a problem. Many visitors to Latvia do not require a Visa for entry to the country. These include visitors from the USA, UK, Canada and other countries in the European Union. There are many Healthcare providers who offer a full package to patients travelling to Latvia including travel, airport transfers, translation services and accommodation but for those choosing or booking their own accommodation, there is something to suit every budget. The cost of living in Latvia is cheaper than many Western European countries. An inexpensive meal in a restaurant will cost an average of 10 Euros. A one way ticket on public transport is under 1 Euro and a taxi ride within Riga is under 6 Euros. For travellers wishing to stay longer, a 1 bed apartment in Riga would cost an average of 300 Euros for a month. And with so much to see in Latvia, why not stay longer?
