Wasn't it part of the Hanseatic League? Any German influence?

Riga looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Learned a lot and would love to visit.
I still haven't visited this beautiful country! I hope I will soon 😀 nice video! Greetings from Frankfurt
Greetings from my home city!Thank you for video!
I bet is wonderful there in the summer.
No mention of Lido, this video has failed me((((
Very nice video of a city with beautiful architecture. Wish your videos were a little longer, maybe 15 minutes.
Thanks DW Travel for this video!
I visited Riga some years ago, and i loved it! Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹👍🏻
You missed the boat excursion on the Daugava River, as that's a great experience to see the city skyline during a golden sunset!
The Powder Tower holds part of the War Museum which has impressive exhibits, and it's free admission. It's connected to a part of the few remaining city walls built during the Medieval period.
Apsara Tea House serves Riga Black Balzam coffee and their honey cake is sublime!
Nice video! Good host and Food looks delicious. I want to try the drink too.
Beautiful country .
Awful city and racist and xenophobic people in it
you could say that Rīga is a hidden gem 10 years ago. but big cruise ships dock there regularly since 5 years ago. so,….
SHE NEEDS HER OWN TRAVEL CHANNEL
Beautiful city!
Brown bottle balsam is more like medicine or winter drink to warm up, the mainstream one is the purple one, latest recepie
lol loved your expression after that first sip…
Totally missed the micro brewery and coffee culture scene in Riga. I usually take my guests to either Labietis, Valmiermiuža or others to get a taste of an actual local beer
May Allah SWT bless Latvia and it's beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect Latvia and it's beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂
Riga is such an elegant, peaceful and charming city. Latvian food is very good, especially the fish is prepared in a million ways. Latvia and the Baltics really have a lot to offer tourists. Worth a visit. I have been and I am delighted. Be sure to see the Baltic Sea because it is amazing from this perspective. Greetings from Poland.
