Solo travel experience

I highly recommend visiting Riga. It turned out to be a very charming city, a place about which I had absolutely no expectations and knew almost nothing. For architecture enthusiasts, it will be a very good destination. After a walk around the city, you can relax with very good food.

Solo travel experience

I was there for 3.5 days. I toured the city (I recommend the Museum of Terror), and went to Jūrmala for the beach. I visited two national parks - Sigulda (an 8-minute ride over the park costs €17, not worth it, I wouldn't go again) and Kemeri (lighthouse, park, village) - all by train. I might return to Latvia itself, but probably not to Riga.

Solo travel experience

I was in Riga three times for three days each, and only now can I say that I got to know the city. Fantastic Art Nouveau architecture and the Art Nouveau Museum, a charming fashion museum, and plenty of other places.
