I traveled to Riga for only 4 days and managed to see and do a lot in that short given timeframe. Riga is the largest city of the Baltics and offers a lot of cool things to do in Riga itself but also just a short train ride out of the center in Sigulda.
This video showcases the combination of a city trip and and action packed day out in the nature. My personal highlight has been the flight in the vertical wind tunnel Aerodium near Sigulda - if you feel like you can even go Bungee Jumping there.

Riga Castle Home of the Republic of Latvia President .wmv
May 12, 2010
Riga, Latvia
Come join TheCeļotājs journey through time, as we visit the Riga Castle and the home of the Latvia President and a walk around the outside of it. First we see the old stone wall that encloses part of the castle and its outer courtyard and outer garden and faces the Daugava River. Then the living quarters and work area of the president. Then moving to the right and the Daugava side of the castle, we can see in the background the castle steeple. We can also see the original round tower, which is the only part that survived when the Rigans pulled the castle down on 1484. Flying atop the tower is the Latvia and the President's flags. Still moving to the right, we can see more of the castle in its entirety. Walking down Daugavas gate and to the front of the castle we will see the south garden wall and south wall of the castle. Moving on to the front of the castle, we will see the front castle tower, which is not in use, with part of its plaster crumbing off revealing the stones that were used to build the tower. Moving on to the front of the castle we can see it in its entirety. Moving north and to the entrance to the inter courtyard, we can see its main gate and the honor guards on duty with supervisor of guards on duty. We can also see the second floor balcony where the presidents sometimes make speeches from. Moving on, and from Vanšu tilts walkway, we get a look into the castle outer courtyard and garden. Also we can get a better view of the front of the castle and the flags flying across the street from the castle.
History of Riga Castle:
The castle was built in 1330. In 1484 though, it was pulled down by the Rigans who had conquered it from the Livonian Order. In 1491, the Order came back and ordered it to be rebuilt. The construction was completed in 1515. When the order ceased to exist in 1562, the castle became part of the Riga defense system.

Riga & Cesis, Latvia // March 2017
To kick off our 2017 travel season we headed to Latvia for a three day weekend in March exploring Riga and Cesis. Wandering through the old streets, taking in the beautiful architecture, and experiencing life in and out of the city during a light snowfall made for an adventurous weekend. We felt like we were stepping back in time as we took everything in around us especially exploring the old castle by candlelight.

Eric Clark's Travel Videos - Riga Latvia - Changing of the Guards infront of Riga Castle
Riga Castle sits right on the river’s edge and can be seen by passing boats as well as when you enter the city. Is a fairly big castle and worth stopping by if you are in Riga. I was there when they were doing the standard “Changing of the Guards” process. It is a process each time they do it. = ) Neat to see.
My name is Eric Clark and I am a world traveler. I have been around the world a few times and decided to help fund my travels by sharing my videos and pictures. I have been to almost every country and would be glad to give tips and pointers. Drop me a note. = )
