Berģi

Nestled on the northeastern edge of Riga by Lake Jugla, Berģi is a tranquil, green suburb defined by private homes and a close connection to nature.

While primarily residential, its proximity to the Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum gives it a unique cultural anchor. It's the perfect escape for residents seeking a country-like atmosphere without completely leaving the city's orbit.
