Untouched white sandy coastline, scores of rivers and lakes, as well as pine and birch forests are part of the experience. Latvia's capital city of Riga, known as Paris of the North, was last year’s European Capital of Culture. Latvia is also one of the top greenest countries in the world. Around 20 per cent of Latvia is protected. There are four national parks, 42 nature parks, 260 nature reserves, 355 nature monuments, seven protected marine areas, 24 micro reserves and a biosphere reserve. It topped the Environmental Performance Index in 2012.
