Riga greets visitors with a unique and breathtaking silhouette, beautifully reflected in the Baltic Sea. A stroll through the city centre offers a charmingly confusing mix of a modern metropolitan city, with exclusive shopping, crazy nightlife and international cuisine and ancient traditions in a capital that has been multi-cultural throughout its 800-year history. And all this in a city setting is worth getting lost in.
