Riga is a vibrant city with a mix of Russian and Latvian influences. The old town has it's winding cobblestone streets that are easy to get lost on. It is also filled with old guild halls, medieval churches, and plenty of shops and restaurants. Outside of old town there is also much to do. There is the art nouveau buildings that are worth a look and plenty of walking paths near the canal. There is also the Moscow district which contains the ethnic Russian community. There is also the Central Market which is one of the largest in Europe. It's housed in five zeppelin hangars and each one has it's own specialty(meat, dairy, produce, etc.). If the city is to tiring there are always plenty of options for day trips outside Riga. A seaside visit to the town of Jurmala is worth it; as is a trip to Cesis to explore old castle ruins.
No matter how much time you have in Riga, there is always something worth exploring in this city.

These buildings were really beautiful!  There were a lot of details in carving of statues, faces on the buildings. The windows were not simple rectangles. Some building even ressembled medieval castles.

Approaching Riga International Airport on a dark February evening, I noticed the snow outside for the first time. It was blowing past the wing in ferocious streaks of white.

I recalled our conversation on the subject. “Come on,” I’d said. “It’ll be an experience if nothing else.”    “Really?” she answered. “So convince me to go to a place I’...
