The Baltics' Big City. Discover why this gem has been fought over for centuries.

Periods of Polish, German, Swedish, Russian, and Soviet rule have all left their mark on the vibrant city of Riga. Latvia's return to independence has seen its capital reaching new cultural and architectural heights, while lovingly restoring its historic center. The city's efforts have earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site status. The 2014 European Capital of Culture, Latvia's capital loves its musical and artistic heritage. There's a packed opera and classical calendar. The German composer Richard Wagner's two-year stay in Riga left its mark too. He conducted and premiered many operas in the City Theater.

What I love about Riga

Ivana

Team Leader for Greece & Turkey

I love the vibe of the city and combination of traditional and modern that Riga perfectly blends. Beautiful parks on every corner, breathtaking views along the river bank and miles and miles of beautiful sandy beaches outside of the city centre. One thing that is a must while being here (or in Latvia in general) is rye bread. Trust me, there is no other place/country that makes such rye perfection, it is a true delicacy!
