You don't require a visa to visit Latvia. Since Latvia falls in the Schengen area and Canadian citizens do not require a visa to travel to Schengen countries, you can travel there visa-free.

Carry cash. The official currency of Latvia is Euros (EUR). It is advisable to carry cash for payments in smaller establishments. Credit cards and debit cards are also accepted.

Be sensitive to their culture and traditions. Latvians have deep respect for their culture and traditions, so do not disrespect their culture, especially in rural areas.
