A series of posters about Latvia prepared by the Latvian Institute in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia and the Latvian Tourism Development Agency.

Nearly 1 million of Latvia's 2.3 million inhabitants live and work in the bustling capital of Rīga, which straddles the mouth of  the River Daugava.  Daugavpils (112,000), Liepāja (86,000) and Jelgava (66,000) are the next largest.  Ventspils (44,000) on the Western coast is also Latvia's busiest port. Yet regardless of their size, almost all of Latvia's 77 cities, as well as towns and villages offer rich historical legacies, picturesque settings and diverse architectural and cultural influences. 

All the information materials prepared by the Latvian Institute in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can be freely distributed, cited, transmitted and used for informative purposes in the representation and educational events devoted to Latvia.
