The two of them and their dog fit into the park near the Latvian National Opera.

The Armitstead Monument in the park by the Latvian National Opera is one of those hidden gems that could easily be missed if you're just heading to the next attraction. The statue depicts George Armitstead, who was mayor of Riga from 1901 to 1912, and his wife - an elegant couple accompanied by a loyal dog. It's fascinating to imagine them walking through the city at the time when Armitstead was shaping Riga and turning it into a modern metropolis.

What's particularly charming is that the statue blends beautifully into the green backdrop of the park. The flowering plants and the calm atmosphere provide an ideal place for a short break from hectic city life. It's also close to the National Opera - perfect if you want to take a little detour into history before perhaps taking a boat tour or a stroll along the city canal.
