8 days in Riga Itinerary

Often referred to as "The Paris of the North," Riga offers thriving nightlife and some of the best collections of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe.

Explore Riga's surroundings by going to Jomas iela (in Jurmala) and Sigulda (Turaida Castle & Gutman's Cave). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum, take in the spiritual surroundings of Riga Cathedral, don't miss a visit to Old City Riga (Vecriga), and contemplate the long history of House of the Black Heads.
