Welcome to the Capital City of Latvia!
Due to its geographical location on the Baltic Sea, RIGA has been an important centre of trade, finance and culture for centuries.
Riga has unique values due to its medieval architecture, the richness and quality of Art Noveau architecture and the 19th century wooden architecture of the city. It was recognised by inscribing the historic centre of Riga on the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
Riga is the birthplace of world's ballet star No.1 - Mikhail Baryshnikov

In my city you will find many enticing sights that are worth seeing.
But for me this city has a particular scent and colour. Riga parks where we can spend a while sitting on a bench or just take a walk, or relax in cozy outdoor cafes. The banks of the Daugava (our river) and the spirit of Old Riga. |

Nice page. Ciao! | 1courage Sat Jun 23, 2007 21:38 UTC
Thank you for this great page! As since I`m from Budapest I can surely appreciate a typical XIX. century cityscape:) It was definately a good idea rebuilding the old town hall. It`s an example to follow in all Europe. Greetings! 1courage |
