Riga, Latvia
Riga is a small metropolis with a big-city atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere in the world. Set on a flat plain divided by the 500-metre-wide Daugava River, the city offers a funky and vibrant magnetism you'll find impossible to resist! We recommend a visit to Vermanes Park, a peaceful and beautiful area secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can hire a boat and sail idyllically along the canal. Check out the Central Market, an excellent place to explore and get a real insight into local life in Riga, with loads of yummy treats to choose from, plus cobbled streets and candlelit bars. You'll get lost amongst the maze of steeples and turrets - all part of the fun - before heading out to experience the glitzy nightlife and thriving restaurant scene. The famous Cat House is worth checking out, too - don’t forget to find out about its witty history! Plus, if you love art and culture, the Latvian National Museum of Art is worth a visit, with a large collection of modern art. We think you'll love Latvia...
