Things to know about Riga

The city of Riga

As an old Hanseatic city, Riga inspires not only with its old town, through which a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, lined with small cafés and Art Nouveau architecture, runs. The Pearl of the Baltic, as the city likes to be called, has a wide range of leisure and social activities, but above all a lively art scene.

Annual festivals, the internationally renowned opera and its vibrant nightlife make the city a top destination as well as a popular place to live for young people. Numerous markets offer curiosities and culinary delights, and the nearby coastline attracts visitors with its natural spectacles all year round. In the surrounding area, the national park offers numerous recreational opportunities.
