Explore an up-and-coming European capital with us on this 3-night city break holiday to Riga. Located on the Gulf of Riga in the Baltic Sea, Riga is Latvia’s capital and the largest city of the Baltic States. Due to its location, the city served as a major port and influences from German, Swedish and Russian traders can still be seen in Riga’s diverse culture today. On this holiday to Riga, we’ll explore the city’s old town, medieval walls and impressive collection of buildings from the 16th-18th century. The city is famous for its stunning art nouveau architecture and we’ll have a chance to see some during our guided walking tour and visit to the Art Nouveau Museum. This holiday also includes plenty of free time to discover Riga at a leisurely pace, with tips on what to see and do from our local guide.
