There is something for everyone to see and to do while in Riga. This is one
of the main advantages of Riga over other European or Baltic cities.
Riga has
the both the historic merchant past and the old world charm of the Nineteenth
Century and has a look and feel somewhat like Paris. Some have even refereed
to Riga as the "Paris of the north" ! To add even more charm, Riga
has many great and relaxing city parks that are exciting during all seasons!

Riga is a marvellous city where the Middle Age buildings are combined with the ones of so called 'Modern' or 'Jugend' style. Quite a few buildings were designed by the father of world-famous movie-director Serguey Eisenstain - Mikhail. Lots of cosy and nice cafes and, of course - Latvian beer (I prefer dark one) . If you're lucky to find a traditional dish - peas stewed in lard in a pot, do not hesitate to taste it - it's delicious! Listening to the Doma Cathedral Organ is a must as long as you're a meloman. And don't miss Stradynya Medicine Museum (1, Antonias iela)

I and group of my friends had fantastic time in Riga. We booked tailored package holiday from Travell2Riga company.
The package included accommodation, transfer, dinner, bobsleighs, pub crawling.
Old town is beautiful, very unique architecture. It's easy get around the city. Great food and drink choice. Try Riga Balsam while visiting the place. Prices are reasonable. Those who are planning city break, boys or girls weekend away or another type of the group travel, highly recommend!

1. Ask local for prices in all places, for real prices.
2. In Riga cheapest is public transportation, yet all public tr. ticket prices are universal ~1EUR/piece
3. Old Riga really differs from rest of the city by any means: People, prices, jobs, architecture.
4. Rest of the city is filled with Soviet style housing and 25% speaks only Russian.

High tax rates lead to high consumers goods prices. These taxes also cause many Landlords to get the rent in cash so as not to show on tax records. Very sad. All in all a rather lovely old city once you rid her of the Soviet past.

It is the safest place of the world. Living and other accommodation expenses are comparatively low with other EU member countries. This place is good for the students who go to get higher level of education.
