Riga Motor Museum 🗺️

#myhiddengems During my summer vacation, I had a fantastic time at the Riga Motor Museum in Riga, Latvia. Located a bit outside the city center, the museum is easy to reach and well worth the trip. The entrance fee was around 15 EUR, which was a great deal considering the extensive collection and the high quality of the exhibits. The museum features an impressive array of vintage cars, including rare and unique models from the early 20th century. I was particularly impressed by the Soviet-era vehicles, which offered a fascinating glimpse into automotive history from a different perspective. The exhibits are well-organized, and the interactive displays make it fun for visitors of all ages. Nearby, you can visit the beautiful Mežaparks area or explore the picturesque surroundings of the city’s parks. The museum itself has a nice café where you can relax after exploring the exhibits. Overall, the Riga Motor Museum is a must-visit for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike. It’s a well-curated museum that provides an engaging look into the evolution of automobiles. #trip #rigamotormuseum #vintagecars #latviatravel #automotivehistory #culturalexperience

Riga Town Hall Square

Riga was great. The whole city is lovely, downtown is where all fun begins, i.e. dancing, singing, and riding beermobiles. There are beautiful buildings all around you, and the history of each of them is amazing Strolling Through Riga’s Storybook Streets 🌧️✨ Downtown Riga instantly charms with its rich tapestry of Western-style architecture and winding streets, each building whispering tales from centuries past. Even on a cloudy or rainy day, the city’s outdoor cultural landscapes sparkle with history and cozy vibes—don’t let drizzle dampen your spirits! Set out from the Town Hall Square, weaving through the maze of Art Nouveau gems on Alberta Street and stopping to admire the close-up details of decorated facades and whimsical statues. Must-do: Climb St. Peter’s Church tower for panoramic shots of Old Town rooftops painted with rain, then wander down to the Dome Cathedral where the city’s heart beats oldest. Photo spot alert: Capture reflections in puddles for unique architecture-vision shots—especially by the Blackheads House. Rain actually deepens the colors of brickwork and brings moody atmosphere to your images! Practical tips: Keep your raincoat or a sturdy umbrella handy—weather can shift quickly, and cobblestone streets get slippery. Many cafés and bakeries nearby offer shelter and hot drinks; they’re cozy breaks if you need to wait out a downpour. Most museums and historic sites open by 10:00 AM and close by 6:00 PM—early mornings mean fewer crowds and gentler light for outdoor photography. Precautions: Be mindful of wet pavement and traffic in crosswalks; waterproof shoes are a lifesaver. Some outdoor courtyards may close in heavy rain, so check ahead for access. #Riga #ArchitectureLovers #UrbanExploration #RainyDayMagic #CultureTrip
