1. Riga has been so far the most popular destination in Latvia. It is not without a reason. Riga is a gorgeous city in the very center of the Baltic States. It has a rich history of more than 800 years and an amazing cultural legacy. Riga's cozy old town (UNESCO heritage site), well preserved and renown Art Nouveau architecture, new interesting hipster districts and pubs, as well as many green parks, are what pulls tourists here.

There is something special about Riga, says National Geographic. You will get a great mixture of good old Europe and modern Northern Europe here. Once you visit Riga you will almost certainly want to come back again. One-third of the Latvian population lives and/or works in Riga. We, locals, like to joke that Riga is a country within a country. The hustle about Riga is so big that not that many visitors know that the real Latvia actually starts outside Riga.
