Riga

A northern European city that bears the hallmarks of a history influenced by its former Russian and German occupation, Riga in Latvia offers a wealth of treasures within its compact limits. Stroll the Old Town to discover beer houses and local restaurants – where the local beverage of Balsam is in plentiful supply -, gaze across the pretty cityscape from St Peter’s Church Tower and stroll the pleasant Mezaparks.

A city that buzzes from morning to evening, Riga is a hive of enchanting vistas and relaxing green spaces, a beauty typified by its status as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
