Riga - Latvia's striking capital city, is a captivating place both to travel to and live in.

Riga Life is the city's leading English-language portal for Riga, with over three hundred pages of useful information about everything in the city, from cosy cafes, hip bars and fancy restaurants through to reviews and photos of the best Riga hotels and apartments if you need help in choosing or booking your accommodation.

Riga is one of the famous summer palace in Austria. Visiting this place can make our trip worth.This is one of the top attractions place for tourists in Europe.The Palace is really very beautiful, and there is so much to see and do there that you can spend a good part of a day there. It was easy to find and I thought it was not too expensive to go there.

ReplyLatvia has many place to see such a Riga is a beautiful capital and major tourist attraction place. Tourist loves to visit the Dome Cathedral's building which has a blend of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance style. Some of the place are costly like climbing on the spire of St Peter's Church for a panoramic view of the city or maybe sip some champagne in the Skyline Bar on top of the Reval hotel are a perfect view of the city.
ReplyIn reply to the last comment made - I think it is rather extreme to condemn a whole city or nation as being racist criminals. I'm sure such people exist in every city. The trick is knowing where to go and where to avoid within the cities. It is unfair to paint RIGA this way. I am sorry to hear of the unfortunate circumstances that you found yourself in, but the crime could have just as easily happened in the 'rougher' part of any city. I have always found Latvians to be extremely polite, pleasant and hardworking.
ReplyWARNING! AWARE OF GOING TO RIGA! British embassy has warned them citizens through the bbc. More than 800 visitors have been victims (have been beaten up and robbed) as the official information says and this is just a part of that what the government cant hide and that what is being published which includes email addresses, phone numbers, names of the bars and nightclubs, its all commercials written by local people themselves and it is just hidden organized criminality what they have share from. And if u turn to them, its just a waste of your time. And what I have experienced myself and my other friends, we can say easy racism and criminality is not only in this uncivilized society, it is even in government, that every smart journalist can investigate easily. And anybody who don't believe, go and find it out yourself (should this country be the member of EU and therefore allowed to this citizens to come to ur country? Decision is up to u
