Go To Riga

Latvia's Overlooked Diamond In The Rough

Blending timeless tradition with cutting edged cool. With stately towers, art nouveau masterpieces and medieval old town, Riga can seem reserved on the outside...

... but spend a day walking its cobbled and colourful streets and you’ll see another side to this city. With thriving nightclubs, funky bars, modern galleries, exquisite restaurants and Latvia’s incredible countryside on the doorstep, Riga has a lot going for it. Whether you’re on a Baltic tour or looking for a weekend away, the low-cost flights and great value make it a great choice.

Riga also has a very good Christmas market so if you are looking for a Winter Getaway consider this Baltic gem.

After that you’ll head to a medieval restaurant in the Old Town for a traditional meal and then onto a hidden wine cellar in the heart of the city.
