Complete Riga Guide – Medieval Streets to Soviet Architecture

Complete Riga Guide – Medieval Streets to Soviet Architecture

Riga is one of the most underrated capitals in Europe. In this complete travel guide, I’ll show you what to see, where to eat, and how much things actually cost in Latvia’s capital.
From the iconic House of the Blackheads and St. Peter’s Church to powerful historical sites like the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia and the Riga Ghetto and Holocaust Museum, this video covers both the highlights and the stories behind them.
I also visit the Riga Dome, the Latvian Academy of Sciences, the Art Nouveau district, and some of the best viewpoints in the city — including the Freedom Monument at night.
You’ll find real prices for food, museums, and attractions, plus where to eat authentic Latvian food, including the popular LIDO restaurant chain.

If you’re planning a trip to Riga or just want to discover a less obvious European city, this guide will help you decide if Riga is worth visiting.
