There have been many debates about which country has the most beautiful women in the world. Many people often think of Russia, the Philippines, Brazil, Ukraine, and so on. However, there is a country that is known as the “paradise of beautiful women,” where men easily fall in love and don’t want to leave. That country is Latvia.
Latvia, officially known as the Republic of Latvia, is a country with a long history in Europe. It borders Estonia to the north, Russia to the south, Belarus to the east, and the Baltic Sea to the west. With a population of less than 3 million people, the women here possess an attractive beauty with fair skin, long legs, big bright eyes, and brown or blonde hair, along with an open and friendly personality.
There are several reasons why Latvian women are consistently beautiful. Firstly, in terms of history, Latvia was colonized by many neighboring countries. It was under Swedish, Polish, and Russian rule until gaining independence on November 18, 1918. This has resulted in the mixing of various bloodlines, with a significant influence from Russia, a country known for having the most beautiful women in the world. Nowadays, 59% of the population in Latvia is Latvian, 28.3% is Russian, and the rest are other ethnic minorities. The second reason why Latvian women are naturally beautiful is the favorable climate and picturesque landscapes, which are ideal for creating the most famous “beauty queen concentration camp” in Europe.
The gender ratio in Latvia is heavily imbalanced, with significantly more women than men. Many women are left behind and forced to remain single. Local women are also very open to male tourists from various countries and can easily be seen accompanying them in Latvian bars.
Nowadays, the capital and largest city of Latvia, Riga, has become a famous tourist destination with many historical and cultural landmarks. Many tourists, especially men who enjoy beautiful scenery and new experiences, come to Latvia. A considerable number of them admit that they don’t want to leave due to the charming landscapes and amazing women.
Attractions in Latvia
Sabile Town
Sabile Town was established in the 13th century in the Abava Valley, west of Riga. Here, you will find the largest natural vineyard in the world and a fantastic wine festival in Sabile. The best time to participate in this event is in July each year.
Another must-visit destination is the outdoor museum at Pedale Manor. This place exhibits many modern artworks and also serves as a venue for cultural events throughout the year. After visiting the museum, there’s no reason not to visit Abava. This valley has some very interesting archaeological sites waiting to be explored.
Pavilosta Port
Built in the late 19th century, Pavilosta was considered a shipbuilding and port of embarkation by a German Count. It quickly became a famous port during that time.
Furthermore, it is also known as one of the sunniest places in Latvia, even when the days are shorter in winter (in Latvia). Since the fall of the communist regime, Pavilosta has become quite a popular tourist destination for some Latvians.
Riga – The Capital City
Located on the outskirts of the seaside, Riga is the capital and most historically significant city in Latvia. After arriving here, make sure to visit St. Peter’s Church and the House of the Black Heads, which bear witness to the city’s formation and development. These beautifully architectural buildings will surely provide you with incredible photo opportunities.
Kuldiga – The Ancient Town
Hundreds of years ago, Kuldiga was one of the main capitals of the Duchy of Courland. However, nowadays, Kuldiga is just a small and charming town in Latvia, known for having one of the widest waterfalls in Europe. Moreover, in spring, you can even witness salmon “dancing” above the waterfall.
