As the largest city in Latvia, Riga boasts a population of over 600,000 inhabitants, and its roots run deep. Founded in 1201, the city was a significant member of the Hanseatic League and bears the historical footprints of various ruling powers, from the Livonian Order and Swedish Empire, to the Soviet Union and the Republic of Latvia. Its rich past has imbued it with a captivating blend of architectural styles, most notably Art Nouveau and 19th-century wooden designs, earning its historical centre a rightful spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

In recent years, Riga has emerged as a vibrant cultural hub, winning the title of European Capital of Culture in 2014. It has also become renowned for its gastronomy and hosted numerous international events, drawing over 1.4 million foreign visitors in 2019 alone. The city is easily accessible via Riga International Airport, the largest and busiest in the Baltic States.

When to visit Riga

Visit Riga in the balmier months of late spring through to summer for an ideal family outing. Relish the delight of leisurely strolls through its verdant parks and along the sun-drenched shores of the Baltic Sea. But don’t discount a visit during the hues of autumn; the contrast of golden brown leaves against the backdrop of rich, dark-green pines provides a tantalising visual spectacle.

For the brave at heart, winter also has its charm, though be prepared for chilly temperatures, often dropping below zero. Whether you’re a sun seeker or a fan of winter wonderlands, Riga’s changing faces make it a joy to visit whatever the season.
