🇱🇻 Riga (Latvia): travel documentary

#riga #latviatravel #balticstates

We are visiting Riga in late October, and the wether is quite grey and rainy, though not yet freezing cold. Founded in 1201 by German crusaders, Riga is strategically placed at the end of the river Daugava, which allowed the city to connect the trading route from the interior of Russia with the German cities on the Baltic Sea

Great video! That rare instance when a short guide to Riga is actually right :)
P.S Almost right, you forgot to mention that in 1940 the USSR occupied Latvia, and in 1939 all Baltic Germans had to move out, according to the pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviets, also Soviets departed to Siberia in 1940 tenths of thousands of people from Latvia and Baltic states. But I guess, it is just details for the world :)
