What to do and see in Riga, Riga Region: The Best Nature & Parks

June 6, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

The Latvian capital, the largest city in the Baltics, is a fascinating mixture of proud Latvian tradition and influences of the various countries that have occupied it. Independent once again since 1991, Riga's Art Nouveau center has won it UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. Opened up to mass tourism with the advent of budget air travel, Riga's Old City and its abundance of bars and restaurants can be explored on foot. The New Town is easily reached by an efficient and modern bus and tram network.

Reviewed By vilnisk - Riga, Latvia

Beautifull park next to old town, freedom monument and many other places to see, so it yould be next to impossible to miss it, but it is highly recomended not to rush trough it, but take some time to look around and enjoy the beauty around you. In summer there are some docks where you can take boat trips trough the canal and Daugava river.

Reviewed By I9317NIbilld - Bedford, United Kingdom

We stayed in the Grand Poet by Samannah Hotel which is adjacent to this lovely parkland and walked through it many times to the old town with its many beautiful buildings, restaurants and bars. There are many large trees, flowers and particularly remember the Hydrangea Paniculata which were huge when we were there in September. Two men were playing music when we walked through one day and it was lovely to look over the water and hear the music.
