Riga, the capital of Latvia and, with around 630,000 inhabitants, is also the largest city in the Baltic States. The old Hanseatic city of Riga is located at the mouth of the Düna (Latvian Daugava) in the Baltic Sea and forms the political, economic, industrial and cultural center of Latvia. More than half of Latvia's companies and employees are located here. The food industry as well as the wood and textile industry and pharmacy are the most important branches of industry. The "Pearl of the Baltic States" is famous for its numerous
impressive Art Nouveau buildings, their extensive grounds and the particularly well-preserved city center. The Old Town of Riga was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. Culturally, Riga can be classified in Western Europe. There is an extremely diverse music and art scene here, whose creativity has influenced numerous artists.

I was really blown away by the beauty of this old town. Beautiful old town with many small streets where there is always something new to discover.

Here you will discover a fascinating mixture of history and lively city life. As you stroll through the winding streets, you will feel the special charm of this Hanseatic city, which gradually unfolds. Impressive Art Nouveau facades, cozy cafes and small shops that catch your eye on almost every corner make every trip to this corner of the city a new experience.

Riga has something unique, almost nostalgic - perhaps it is due to its proximity to the Daugava or the air that blows over from the Baltic Sea. The atmosphere is relaxed without being too conformist. You don't get the feeling that everything here is just for tourists, but that Riga has retained its authentic face.

A walk through the old town is like a journey through time. You pass magnificent buildings and keep finding small squares that invite you to linger. At the same time, you can feel that Riga has not stood still - there is a creative scene that leaves its mark, be it through works of art, music or modern architecture.

The only drawback: if you are looking for really quiet corners, the old town can sometimes be crowded. In high season, it can get hectic, especially at the hotspots. But that's just part of it, isn't it? If you go for it, you will discover more than just a tourist attraction - but a city that is alive.

Really a worthwhile walk through a piece of UNESCO World Heritage!
