Daugavpils is a progressive city in Latvia. Daugavpils was once capital of Livonia, Poland until it became part of the Russian Empire in 1772. This city is an attraction to industrial investment because the city is strategically nearer to the Russian, Belarusian and Lithuanian borders. Many establishments were built, such as hotels, boutiques, restaurants, and government offices. Riga International Airport is the nearest airport as it is 122.41 miles away from the center of Daugavpils Latvia.
Best Time to Visit
Daugavpils is famed for its one-week celebration called Daugavpils City Festival, an annual activity every June.
