Latvia is one of those countries which are having all 4 seasons.
It is very cold and windy in winter, hot - in summer time, enough rainy over autumn and spring.
So make sure what is the weather in here before plan your trip, so you would have all suitable clothes. Leave a Comment

 Cool winters... by FletteMette
The streets of Riga's Old Town are cobbled and quite uneven, and you'll probably spend quite some time wandering around - so bring comfortable shoes that are good for walking, the high heels are probably best left at home...;o)
If you forget something at home, I'm sure you'll quickly and easily find replacements here - there are many large shopping centres and department stores in Riga, and even though prices aren't particularly low you'll probably find whatever it is you need. Leave a Comment

A backpack is good to bring along if you buy anything so you dont have to carry it.
Comfortable shoes is a must if your planing to visit Old town, the roads are not so comfortable to walk on.
Bring an extra battery for your camera your gona need it, there´s alot to take pictures of.

 Loney Planet Guide by HORSCHECK
The Baltic States are rapidly developing countries, therefore an up to date guidebook is very useful. I used the Lonely Planet Guide "Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania" which offers information for all budgets on what to see and do, and tips on dining and accomodation. Leave a Comment

Take a thick coat, and a hat - it can be quite windy when there is a snowstorm and the windchill factor will play a considerable role, especailly if you head out to Jurmala. Whilst your hotel might be gloriously warm it won't be outside! Gloves are an essential and insulated (GoreTex lined) boots are adviseable.
Take moisturising cream to prevent your lips from becoming dry and chapped.
Be sure to take plenty of batteries with you and be careful about your camera - in February when the temperatures are low you might find that your camera's performance is affected. I found that batteries didn't hold their charge as well in winter. Leave a Comment

I visited at the end of October and it did get very cold. Most nights the temperature was below freezing.
Take lots of warm clothes and wrap up well in layers.
Don't worry, everyone (even the locals) do the same and there are plenty of places in bars adn restaurants to leave all your bulky coats etc. Leave a Comment

Thermal gloves and a warm hat a necessity. I travelled with a warm coat / fleece, thermal waterproof boots and even wore some long johns! Very chilly!
