A Local's Guide to RIGA, LATVIA

Normally, we research the best things to eat, see and do in every city. Riga was different. Our Airbnb host sent us so many recommendations before our stay we simply chose to follow their list and see what happened. This is a guide to Riga through the eyes of a local.

We are the Sosa's.

For 4 years, we saved and prepared for a travel adventure around the world. We are not an extraordinary couple, simply explorers with big ambitions. Always on the lookout for the best food, bargain and sunrise we can find.

Just learned you two are from Michigan and attended MSU! My husband and I also met at MSU (1985). Love watching your travels. Go Green, Go White!

From one Spartan to another, I love your videos. I'm headed to Riga in two weeks and will be using your suggestions as my roadmap. Also a passionate traveler, it's so nice to watch you guys wind your way across the world. Go green!

The food at the Lido is pretty darn good. Also, their Uzavas beer is tasty.
My favourite place closed down; it was a restaurant which served pancakes filled with meat, mushroom, potato pancakes, Apple pancakes, Banana pancakes. Chef Pavar Wilhelm, Come Back!
Good video.👍

I love this market! I'm going to Riga in November, I shall definitely visit it!!

[normundsrozenbergs]

Unfortunately this pie definately was not the one from your host's advice. I am sure he or she meant speķa pīrāgi, that are small pies and filled with cut meat instead of minced meat. The difference is essential.

8:17 - Yes, absolutely the best restaurant. I've been there many times with my mom and her friend at this point, and I can't forget about the quality of food 😆 Also, the best bread!

Another nice video guys - Riga looks a beautiful vibe.

I'm visiting Riga in 3 weeks with my kids, I will follow your advices, if you can make a great video after all those beers 🍻 it will be probably easy for me to manage them 😂

[rendzen]

It wasnt beer, it was kvass. its non alcoholic brewed drink ( at Lido )

Latvian here. Nice to see that even over pond friends are visiting Baltic countries. Seems you had very welcoming host in your AirBnb and pointed out good places to visit, it specially "Ala" (Cave) folk club, as in evenings it is very packed.
About food - i guess after visiting Germany you will see a lot of common things, it specially love with beer. :D
