About Riga
Riga carries the finest Art Nouveau in the world down whole streets of writhing stone faces, gargoyles and impossible facades.
The Hanseatic core is tight and walkable, but stroll a few blocks north and the buildings begin to dream. The widest river in the Baltics slides past a skyline still marked by a Soviet-era tower and Latvia's long memory of occupation.
Nights run late and loud, then the whole city escapes in summer to the pine-and-sand beaches of Jūrmala.
Try grey peas with bacon and brace for a shot of Black Balsam, a herbal liquor that tastes like medicine and history at once.
