RIGA | A Foggy Winter Stroll by the Baltic Sea, Screaming Buildings & the Best Cafes in Riga

Hello sweet friends,

I was in Riga! - Surprise!
This trip has been in the making for a while and a few weeks ago, I finally made it. I worked remotely for two days, visited my friend in Latvia and had an overall wonderful time!

Riga, the capital of Latvia, is not only the crown jewel of Latvia, but also of the Baltics. Riga’s Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Riga has more than 600 000 inhabitants, making it the largest city in the Baltic States.

Riga is also known as an architectural jewel – a city where you can see churches from the city’s origins, medieval buildings in the Old Town, unique examples of Art Nouveau, as well as wooden architecture that has survived the centuries and modern architectural jewels.

Riga has a vibrant cultural life. The Latvian National Opera and Ballet brings together world-class artists. The most prominent cultural offers include the magnificent Opera House, diverse music halls and independent cinemas. If you are a culture lover, then visit a theatre play, opera or ballet!

Have you ever been to Latvia??

Such a lovely vlog, thanks for sharing! I went to Latvia in late November a couple of years back and loved it a lot. It felt so atmospheric, especially as I belive I arrived on a national holiday of some sort. Personally, the city reminds me of a mix of Prague and Helsinki. Looking forward to your next vlog x
