Quick take

  • Build your days around one “anchor” and one “ritual”.
  • Golden hour is your friend — plan one slow walk and keep it close.
  • Choose cozy over complicated and your trip will feel more personal.

A simple romantic structure

Riga is romantic when it feels calm. Keep the plan light: one daytime loop, one warm stop, one evening walk, one good meal.

  • Daytime: Old Town or Art Nouveau stroll.
  • Warm stop: market halls or a café.
  • Evening: river walk + one special dinner.
