Now that everyone has discovered Riga it seems the city has earned a bit of mixed reputation - great buildings, rude people; awesome night life, but lots of rip-off joints.

There is obviously more to Latvia than Riga. Has anyone been to the smaller cities of Liepaja, Jurmala, and Daugavpils? I've read some great things about how the 'real' Lativa can be found in these places...

Any experiences or recommendations of what else to see in Latvia apart from its capital city?

You should visit Ventspils, Latvian port city. It is really beautiful place with a kind people. Besides, it is cheaper than Riga,if compare prices of hotels, food, etc.

I have to agree to Marie333 - visit Ventspils, especially in Summer..I have been there visiting my friends, actually you can not compare it with other towns in Latvia!

I like Ventspils better than Riga because its not so noisy as the capital and the city is very clean..
