    • I have used a postcard this time to show Riga from above, certainly gives a different perspective to the city.

    • We were on a bus and foot tour of Riga for quite a while, then had a free evening, and the following morning, to have a good look around.There are many lovely tree lined, wide boulevards in Riga.
    These beautiful Art Nouveau buildings are restored, as are many other buildings in the city.

    • The Swedish gate was built in 1698, after the Swedish occupied the city.
    Riga has many of these quaint buildings.

    • Just lazily walking around the streets, enjoying the feeling of the area, and the green spaces, of which there are many in Riga.
    There are many delightful pieces of sculpture along the streets and in the parks.

    This building definitely has a different 'slant' on it??? Behind is the Dome Cathedral.It's an impressive medieval cathedral, originally built in the 13th C.
