Riga and the Daugava river
Some Norwegian friends of mine live & work in Riga, and I've been here ten times (July 2004, December 2005, March - April 2006, June - July 2006, Sept - Oct 2006, December 2006, January 2008, February / March 2008, June / July 2008, December 2008) - I've spent ca 4-5 months in Riga altogether.

Please take a look at some of my other Latvian pages as well... :o)

 Very good page, your Warnings Or Dangers tips remind me Athens down town stories ;-) As about English drank groups....

 What is the cheap way to travel from Riga to Prague? TQ

 We're thinking of going to Riga this September. I'm 60 and my travel mate is a 45yr old male friend. Should we be put off going by your "warnings and dangers"? Kate
