10 best places in Riga
Riga is the Baltics' biggest city, a place where cobbled medieval lanes meet Europe's richest collection of Art Nouveau facades, and the old market halls still smell of smoked fish and cardamom.
Vecrīga (Old Town)
A tangle of narrow streets, spires and courtyards protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Riga Cathedral (Rīgas Doms)
The Baltics' largest church, famous for a 19th-century organ that still draws concert crowds.
House of the Blackheads
A 14th-century Hanseatic guild hall, painstakingly rebuilt from old plans after wartime destruction.
Alberta Street & the Art Nouveau district
Facades dripping with masks, dragons and flowers — Europe's densest cluster of Jugendstil architecture.
Riga Central Market
Five former zeppelin hangars packed with smoked meats, cheese and Latvian Black Balsam.
Latvian National Museum of Art
The country's premier collection of Latvian painting inside a restored early-1900s building.
Riga Motor Museum
Vintage cars from the Soviet era and beyond, including limousines once used by state leaders.
Kalnciema Quarter
A revived wooden-house neighbourhood across the river with a craft market and Saturday concerts.
Rocket Bean Roastery
A roastery-cafe that helped set the tone for the whole Baltic specialty-coffee scene.
Restaurant Vincents
Riga's fine-dining landmark, which has cooked for royals and heads of state alike.
