Choose Riga for a remarkable European trip
A Riga vacation by the Baltic Sea is an outstanding European escape for all kinds of reasons. There’s the Medieval Old Town, for starters, which is a car-free zone, so you can stroll around in peace.
Latvia’s capital city has several noteworthy landmarks, including the House of the Black Heads, the Freedom Monument and the Latvian National Opera House. If you want to enjoy the nightlife during your trip to Riga, you won’t be disappointed. There are loads of bars, clubs and concert venues to choose from.
Other great ways to familiarize yourself with the city include going to the local markets and joining guided walking tours to get your bearings. One of the more unusual things to see in Riga is the statue of ‘Sam’ - an eye-catching tribute to the animal cosmonauts who passed away during their missions to space.
