"My Home Town" Top 5 Page for this destination Riga Region by in4ik

Riga Region Travel Guide: 2,390 reviews and 4,420 photos

I've been living in Riga all my life until recently. The last five years I've been living in the city center. I think I walked all possible streets. I've noticed and admired the best views, which I will share with you...

My goal is to make this TravelPage interesting and to suggest some activities that are beyond usual trip through Old Town and visiting all old churches.

I have to admit I like going out, I do it a lot and to different kind of places with different people. I check out new places as they appear in Riga. I'll share my experiences in nightlife and restaurant sections. I've been to some upmarket dining places, but I would rather suggest middle price restaurants (as well as good cheap ones).

Pros and Cons

Pros:Cute, small
Cons:Boring for longer stays
In a nutshell:Miniature of old german town with a sand beach 15 away
