Riga, in layers
Riga rewards a slow pace: Old Town evenings, Art Nouveau details that reveal themselves street by street, and small rituals (a market stop, a café, a river walk) that turn into memories. Love Riga is built for a first visit — and for return trips that go deeper.
Quick start
- 1. Pick your “musts” and anchor them to walkable clusters.
- 2. Use practical tips (transport, timing, and what to book).
- 3. Build in one “golden hour” walk along the river or across the bridges.
- 4. Keep one day flexible for a day trip (or a museum + sauna-style reset day).
