Riga (Latvia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Riga in Latvia.
Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Saint Petri Church is located in the centre of the city and has a long and varied history. It features inner cross vaults modelled on those of the dome of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck’s cathedral, plus a circular arch and sturdy, red brick walls. It is one of the most important sacred buildings of the Middle Ages and is closely linked with the development of the city. Mentzendorff House was a manorial property which German merchants had built at the end of the seventeenth century. Carefully renovated, its original splendour has been fully restored. The middle class buildings of Elisabeth and Albert Street indicate the prosperity of its past occupants. Like almost nowhere else, art nouveau has been preserved incredibly well with lavish embellishments and numerous motifs. Marien Cathedral is situated in the centre of the city and is the most important religious building in the Baltic States. Its age, dimensions and contrasting architectural styles bear witness to a long history and its famous organ, built in 1883, contains a hundred and twenty four registers and almost seven thousand wooden and metal pipes. In keeping with the age-old traditions of the Hanseatic League, the very heart of the Baltic beats within Latvia's metropolis and, with an elegant lust for life, Riga is an extraordinary treasure!

Riga (Latvia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Riga in Latvia.
Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Petri Church has been at the centre of various conflicts between the military order of the Livonian Brothers Of The Sword, and the local population. In 1666, its tower collapsed, buried eight people and, in 1721, lightning destroyed it completely. Czar Peter The Great had it rebuilt, a hundred and twenty seven metres high and with a wonderful view. Mentzendorff House was a manorial property which German merchants had built at the end of the seventeenth century. Carefully renovated, its original splendour has been fully restored along with its splendid ceilings. Marien Cathedral is situated in the centre of the city and is the most important religious building in the Baltic States. Its age, dimensions and contrasting architectural styles bear witness to a long history and its famous organ, built in 1883, contains a hundred and twenty four registers and almost seven thousand wooden and metal pipes. Where today is the highest television tower in Europe, the Latvians strived to fight for their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Latvia has frequently been occupied by the Crusaders, the Teutonic Order, the Swedes, and finally, the Tsars. The Open Air Museum Of Folk Culture was built in 1924 and is one of the oldest open air museums in Europe. From each of Latvia’s regions, dwelling houses, churches and windmills have been re-assembled, with furniture and everyday objects. Situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Juglas the museum recalls the daily life of Latvia’s farmers, craftsmen and fishermen. In keeping with the age-old traditions of the Hanseatic League, the very heart of the Baltic beats within Latvia's metropolis, and also with an elegant lust for life, Riga is an extraordinary treasure!

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.

Outside of the Old Town, the journey heads across parkland towards The Radisson Blu hotel and from the top floor Skyline Bar there are impressive views of Riga. Back into The Old Town St. Peter's Church is explored and then from the tower there are again views over the city of Riga. After this there is a short tour of The Old Town on a beer bike, before further exploration of the streets and squares, and then a walk through the Old Town to the markets and then on to the Latvian Academy of Sciences Observation deck for sunset views over the city.

Places to visit in Riga
Riga, a charming city in Europe. Definitely one of my favorite destinations. This video shows the places in Riga we visited during our Road Trip of the Baltic States. Old Riga was absolutely a charming place. Lots of restaurants and bars around. The food in Riga will never disappoint. Absolutely recommended. Try all! The nightlife was amazing. English is not a problem, although can be quite a challenge amongst the older folk. The tour was short, 1-night & 2days only but was well wirth it.

Riga | Latvia Travel Guide by Made of Journeys
Riga is the financial, creative, and cultural center of Latvia. Although it looks small for most of us, the city is the largest in the Baltic States.
Blog:
The Gothic atmosphere that dominate Rīga's cityscape might suggest austerity, but it is the lively art nouveau that compounds the spirit of this vibrant cosmopolitan city. Like all northerners, it is quiet and reserved on the outside, but there is some powerful chemistry going on inside its hip bars, modern art centres, and in the kitchens of its cool experimental restaurants.
It's cobblestone streets and it's medieval shapes build up it's Old Town which is a world heritage site recognized by UNESCO.
The capital of Latvia is filled with traces left by history, a very pleasant atmosphere, highly affordable prices and a very beautiful Old Town. The city exhales the feeling of rebirth - always reinventing itself and overcoming the challenges on its way.
