Summary
When you’re looking for a European escape to light up your life, a multi centre holiday in Latvia will deliver just what you need. Its capital city, Riga, is no longer a well-kept secret, but if you’ve never been before, prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
For example, taking to the River Daugava for a calm and scenic boat trip is sure to put a spring in your step. Other popular things to see and do in Riga include visiting the House of the Black Heads and climbing the tower at St. Peter’s Cathedral, which has the highest vantage point in the city.
After a hectic day’s exploring, Riga’s bar scene is well worth sampling. There are dozens of great pubs within easy walking distance of each other where you can try the local lagers, dark beers and fantastic local wine.
There are many cool museums in the city when you’re looking for some culture or quirky exhibits. For example, if you’re a big fan of flying, you’ll be in your element at the Riga Aviation Museum with its captivating selection of different aircraft from over the years. For something a little more unusual but no less interesting, the city’s Pharmacy Museum in the Old Town area will give you insight into medical treatments from days gone by.
Talking of the Old Town, you definitely can’t miss it. Known locally as Vecrīga, you’ll find churches, Riga Castle, lively squares and more among the other historic buildings.
Let us take you on a Latvian adventure!
