Riga, the capital of Latvia, reigns as the largest of the Baltic three. Its roots are clearly in the Middle Ages. The S-bends of the Old Town's cobbled alleys testify to that. However, later periods have brought glitzy Art Nouveau architecture by the bucket load, not to mention a happening nightlife scene fueled by backpackers whizzing through on the eastward route across the continent.
One thing's for sure: you'll fall in love with the town's historic core. Photo-worthy corner shops and Latvian taverns are on every street. Guilds like the House of the Black Heads rise above the bustling squares with a history that ranges back to the 1300s. Some Gothic spires and nooks lead to alcoves, beer gardens and soup kitchens in long-forgotten basements beneath the flagstones. It's a true urban adventure.
For the grander, sleeker 20th-century Jugendstil, head across to the boulevards of Alberta and Elizabetes. There, carved friezes and muted colours streak across the façades, with strange and elaborate artistic flurries that highlight just why Riga is celebrated as an architectural jewel.
Charter jets to Riga can help you hit the nightlife, explore the maze of the old centre and see the famous architecture. In the summer, they are also often used to break out to the glitzy resort town of Jūrmala. Pine-studded beaches scatter the landscapes there beneath handsome Soviet-era villas and high dunes.
