What is the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice on traveling to Latvia?
If you’re travelling to Latvia, check the latest travel advice where Covid-19 restrictions are concerned and be prepared for plans to change at the last minute.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) currently advise that Latvia is safe to travel to – around 142,000 British nationals visit Latvia each year, most of whom have a trouble-free visit.
You should always be wary of pickpockets, particularly when visiting the capital, Riga, with most thefts reported in the Old town, Central Market, central train and bus stations. So long as you remain vigilant though, you should have no trouble.
You should also be on your guard in bars and restaurants, where visitors have reported massive overcharging on drinks and have even have fraudulent transactions placed on their cards.
If you need to report a crime, call the Riga tourism police on +371 67181818 or the national police on 110.
You can drive in Latvia with a UK driving licence, but you will need a GB sticker if you’re driving your own car.
