| Welcome To Riga |
| |
Riga, the capital city of Latvia can be colourful, bubbling, serene and thoughtful - all that depends on the season of the year, the day of the week, the hour of the day and the mood of the individual.Riga's Old City is a living museum where modern life and comfort goes hand in hand with picturesque charm from the Middle Ages. Take a walk through the labyrinth of cobble-stoned streets, enjoy the beauty of the Gothic churches and ancient buildings - you will feel that you have made a journey back in time.
Like good architecture? Then Riga is a must. One-third of Riga's downtown buildings were constructed in Art Nouveau style. The buildings explode with gargoyles, nymphs and satyrs and are the most imaginative ever done in this style. Start from the legendary Alberts street in the very heart of Riga's architectural wonderland and remember to look up - it is an amazing world up there, a symphony of exotic sounds captured in stone.Riga can take you on a culinary adventure. As a melting pot of cuisines and traditions Riga can satisfy the most demanding palate with its variety of elegant restaurants and fashionable cafes. Latvians love good food, they are imaginative with meat, generous with greens, hate processed foods, so everything must be fresh and tasty. Riga's night- life is intense. And it is very concentrated. While outside temperatures can get quite chilly during the winter months, the climate in Riga's entertainment establishments is sizzling hot all year long. |
