New edition of the Rietumu Guidebook to Latvia issued
This is the seventh edition of the Rietumu Guide. Like previous
editions, it contains topical information about the best hotels, restaurants,
spa centres, beauty parlours, recreation centres, boutiques and art galleries.

independent travelling around Latvia and trips in its capital city, specially
developed for readers of the Guide.
“We, in Rietumu, often host and
welcome our partners, clients and entrepreneurs from abroad. From this
viewpoint we started developing the Guide, trying to go beyond the framework of
a standard set of sightseeing places and provide an opportunity to get
acquainted with the country in a deeper and more emotional way, to see the best
and the most interesting,” said Sergey
Grodnikov, Head of the Department of Public Relations and Advertising of Rietumu Bank and one of the authors of
the Guide. “We are pleased that this guidebook, which was initially intended
for our guests, enjoys growing popularity from year to year. We are very
grateful to all of those who helped us in creating the Guide, providing
information and their comments.”

guidebook or download the application for iPhone or Android platform. All of
the information provided in the Guide is fully original and absolutely

its Charity Fund, which is the biggest private organisation of this type in
Latvia. Several pages devoted to the bank’s anniversary provide information to
the readers on the most significant facts from the history of Rietumu Bank, which during this quarter
of the century has become one of the undisputed leaders of the finance industry
in the Baltics. The Charity Fund section provides information about the support
