I would recommend you to visit house of the Blackheads, Riga Cathedral and St. Peter’s Church.

We then walked around the Art Nouveau District. Riga boasts one of the world's largest collections of Art Nouveau buildings. If you only have limited time. The “must see” one would be Alberta iela and Elizabetes iela.

Riga - A old town with a big soul
Let me start by just saying : wow ! What a beating town.
Riga is a small town and it’s possible to just keep on walking all day long and just stop and watch all the beautiful building all day long! If you get cold you can stop and have a glas of Balsam
- the local drink from Latvia. If will make you warm in no time !
They have many cozy pubs and restaurants- and the price is great. For under 20euro you can have a drink and food for the night.
We choose to do a free walking tour and on the tour we learn so much about the city. For example the story about the cat in the roof and why it’s facing the Opera.
Make sure to put Riga on your next weekend trip away.

Located in Riga, Latvia, the Freedom Monument was built to commemorate the soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918-1920) and is an important symbol of Latvia's freedom, independence and sovereignty. Its amazing all over the place.

In this country that means armor, the owners of two SummerHouse and Bungalow have their own planes and yachts. He drove to Sweden last night and deliberately asked me to put the pine cones and wood in the fireplace to heat the house. Lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace is really comfortable!

This season, this place is really beautiful. The scenery in front of me is like a beautiful oil painting. The breeze is slowly moving through the grass under the shade of trees. The Latvian children playing next to me shouted hello to me loudly! I also responded happily to them~ I like the hospitality of the locals, just like this clear weather, it is refreshing, looking at the end of the road, I thought, maybe there is really one day, I can look at you. Follow me on this road. Time of journey before meeting you.

In the past two years, Latvia has become a network of red land. It is because it is a place where beauty is rampant. The country girl is not only outstanding, but also tall and tall. Many well-known models in the fashion industry come from Latvia.
But do you know the environment in which you can breed such a beauty? !
Latvia is located in the northeastern part of Europe. It is a fairytale country and was named one of the top ten countries worth visiting by Lonely Planet.
There is Riga, known as the Cultural Capital of Europe. It is the capital of Latvia and the largest of the three Baltic countries. It was chosen by netizens as the top ten most beautiful cities in Europe.
This is one of the greenest countries in the world, enjoying the reputation of the lungs of Europe, with more than half of the country covered by forests.
When I went to Russia to watch the World Cup, I went to Latvia. We are here, in the park, on the street, really smashing the beauty of the cloud, wanting to take a photo with them.

MUUSU Riga A restaurant in the old town. Eating at the Riga restaurant, it is recommended to try their beer instead of wine. Latvia does not produce wine, but the taste of beer is a lot. For the first time, I used a wine glass to drink a variety of beers in such restaurants. Latvia has a long history of winemaking, there are many breweries, and the wines they produce make many wine tasters amazed, and they use local fruit, such as rhubarb, dandelion, birch and so on.
