RIGA

Look at this short video of Riga, it is worth it! 

Riga is the capital and the largest city of Latvia and in the Baltic States. Riga is the pearl both of Latvia and the whole of the Baltics.

It was founded by Bishop Albert in 1201. The history of Riga is terrifying. It has been occupied by many countries such as Germany, Russia and Poland. And has been burned and destroyed more than once. However, “Riga’s architecture is beautiful and diverse. A heritage that dates back eight hundred years in terms of its Gothic churches which were built by Riga’s very founders, plus the medieval buildings of the Old Town, exquisite Art Nouveau structures, and many wooden buildings make Riga a true architectural pearl. A walk along the streets of Riga will be an exciting adventure for every visitor to Riga.” (Latvia.travel) 

According to a specialized agency of the United Nations, Historic Centre of Riga, aka Old Town, is included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage list. Riga is one of the key economic and financial centres of the Baltic States. “Riga was the European Capital of Culture during 2014, along with Umeå in Sweden.” (Wikipedia) 

It is a fact that Riga is an excellent place for tourists and its inhabitants to enjoy the beauty of the city in all four seasons.
