Old Riga is amazing, there is such to see and do and so much history, visit the war museum as it free and I highly recommend it. There is more to do in the summer as now the boat cruises have stopped, which was a nice way to see the surrounding area. If you have time you can also explore Riga city center or cross over one of the bridges, it has less tourists, and has shops, restaurants, mini golf, we did bowling one night and plan on going go-carting in the near future. Lots of local beer to sample, and it seems most bars/pubs have there own beer brand that you can try also.

the sites were great, eating in the Lido was a definate must do superb food and very cheap, Motorists very courteous stop for you at crossings. A tip dont pay 12 euros to go in the cathedral its a rip off

Beautiful city with one of the best old towns in Europe. Great for walking around, grabbing a coffee and chilling. It's a nice spot to take it easy. I went for dancing and for football and thoroughly enjoyed it there. Getting around is so simple, buses and lime scooters.

Riga is a beautiful and ancient city that is quite neglected by tourists. There is certainly a lot to see and the Latvians are a warm and friendly people. The excellent food will certainly only enhance the experience.

Great old town - vibrant with shops restaurants, UNESCO rated heritage preserved. We took tram to new library across the river which is an impressive building, also with an exhibit on design by Latvian- American architect. We took tram to Art Nouveau museum and self guided walking tour of the buildings in that area as well as embassy row. Largest amount of Art Nouveau buildings in the world. Day trip by train to Kemeri and Jurmal was worthwhile!

We visited Riga as Eurobasket 2025 final phase was taking place, hence we may have experienced it through lenses slightly different from what would be the norm. As a basketball fan, my favourite place was the Xiaomi Arena and some of the bars with plenty of TVs in Riga's old town. As a tourist, I really enjoyed exploring Riga's Central Market with a tour guide and trying many different traditional foods. Our bike tour was fun and extremely informative. I absolutely loved the Museum of Occupation of Latvia, where I got to know so much history! We ate at many different restaurant and cafes in Riga's old town as well as beyond it. One place that we would most definitely recommend to those who, like us, have a bit of a sweet tooth, would be 'Cruffins', who make the best cruffins we have ever had as as 'Crumble Cake' for some amazing homemade crumble cakes. We found Riga extremely easy to get around and the public transport system well-developed. Riga is very close to Jurmala, about half an hour long train ride, and Jurmala is a lovely coastal town to visit, especially when you get lucky with the weather like we did!
