Filming Locations in Latvia

We help international productions identify practical options, arrange scouts and manage local access across Latvia, from Riga and Jūrmala to Liepāja, Daugavpils and regional locations.

Latvia offers a useful range of locations within practical travel distances: Riga’s Art Nouveau centre and administrative districts, Jūrmala’s seaside character, Liepāja’s coastline and port textures, Daugavpils’ industrial and regional feel, Baltic Sea beaches, forests, farmland and quieter rural roads. The country also works well for productions looking for Soviet-era environments, historic streets, contemporary business settings and regional towns without overcomplicating logistics.

Why film in Latvia

Latvia gives international producers strong visual variety while keeping route planning manageable. Riga works as the main production base, but it is realistic to combine urban locations, coastline, woodland, industrial sites and smaller towns with sensible travel planning and local coordination.

Location scouting, permits and access in Latvia

Permit and access requirements vary by municipality, location type and the footprint of the shoot. We help with location research, scouting, recces, municipal coordination, permit guidance and on-the-ground access planning so that shoots move efficiently through prep and filming.

Regional planning for location shoots

Location work in Latvia is not only about finding the right look. We also help producers plan realistic recces, route days efficiently, manage permits and access, and connect location choices with the right fixer support, crew and wider filming logistics.
