Riga is a city that I can see myself visiting over and over again and never tiring of it. It was just beautiful – the buildings, the parks, the people. We spent so many hours just walking around the city, and there was so much to see and do. We went through the market and had some street food, checked out some cafés and pubs. All in all, it was a very fulfilling trip.

One thing that I absolutely loved about Riga was the architecture. All of the buildings were beautifully made, and I often found myself craning my neck to take it all in. On our free walking tour, we learned a bit about the architectural style Art Nouveau. Riga is famous for it, and our guide told us that 1/3 of the city is made of Art Nouveau buildings. That, as well as the classical the classical style, made for breathtaking sights everywhere we went.
