Explore Riga’s quaint streets by daylight, shopping at local

jewellery stores and picking out souvenirs for family members. A mixture of

Latvian and Russian cultures collide in these narrow byways lined with

restaurants combining cuisines from both countries. The smells of beef and

broth mingle with the breeze and lure you into candlelit cafes for afternoon

snacks.

As the sun sets another side of Riga can be uncovered in the rhythmic

beats streaming from clubs just outside the Old Town. Dance the night away

appreciating the distance between Riga's history and its potential future.

The city had been building and expanding its charming historical town so

fast that UNESCO has actually threatened to revoke its protected status due

to the number of ritzy bars and classy clubs.
