Bridge to Knowledge

Embracing Latvia's Literary Haven Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas atbalsta biedrība, also known as the Society of Friends of the National Library of Latvia, is an organization that supports the National Library of Latvia. The National Library of Latvia, located in Riga, is the largest library in the country and serves as a repository of Latvian national cultural heritage. In a lovely afternoon, I stroll along the riverside, Crossing Riga Stone Bridge with a joyful stride. Towards the Society of Friends, my heart takes flight, To the National Library, a beacon of cultural might. Amidst Latvian heritage, I find solace and delight, Preserving traditions, with passion burning bright. #mytripvlog #travel #2022trip #2022travels #library

Explore Riga - Latvia Riga, Latvia’s capital, has a way of blending charm, history, and a little bit of whimsy all in one walkable city. The journey through the Old Town begins with the House of the Blackheads, a striking building with a façade that almost feels too ornate to be real. Once the headquarters of merchants, it now stands as one of Riga’s most photographed treasures. Just a short stroll away are the Three Brothers, a row of houses that showcase different periods of Riga’s architectural evolution. Each one has its own personality, almost like three siblings with different tastes who still manage to live side by side. The famous Cat House adds a playful note to the city’s atmosphere. With its mischievous-looking black cats perched on the turrets, the building has a backstory rooted in defiance and humor, which makes it even more memorable. It’s one of those places that brings a smile, reminding visitors that Riga’s history isn’t only about battles and trade, but also about quirky stories. Nearby, the Swiss Gate provides a glimpse into the city’s defensive past. As one of the few remaining parts of the old fortifications, it feels like a portal between centuries, linking modern Riga with the days when walls and gates protected its people. To top off the experience, there’s the cherry liquor, a local specialty with a sweet yet strong flavor. Sipped slowly, it captures the warmth and character of Riga itself—rich, welcoming, and a little surprising. Riga leaves behind a mix of admiration and delight, with every corner offering a story worth remembering. #latvia #riga #travel #exploring #baltictrip #summer #cathouse
