Weather in Riga
It won’t surprise anyone to know that the best time to visit Riga is in late spring early summer. Baltic winters aren’t to be dabbled with if you like your city strolls to be balmy. That said, have you ever go-karted across a frozen lake? That – and the Christmas markets, are food for thought.
Discover the Real Riga
Everyday life’s a little more rosy since Riga peeked out from behind the Iron Curtain. Latvians in the capital enjoy life much as citizens of any other Euro capital would. With one big difference. They aren’t afraid to stray from the norm. Which means untold discoverable gems for the curious.
You can merrily skip your way through the standard city break checklist if you life. Just make sure you allow time for something other than architecture, UNESCO listings and the admittedly massive market in Riga. There’s a lot to get through, but the eclectic offerings makes the city that smidge more appealing.

More of the Latvia
Latvia really should be showing off its pristine landscapes just a little more. How else would we know its pine forests are sprinkled with glistening berries, ripe for picking? Or that the Daugava River practically begs kayakers to explore its winding waters. Untouched valleys, sprawling national parks, rushing waterfalls and a 30km beach so eye-watering it’s inspired poetry. Perhaps the real question is, why we all haven’t hopped on a flight sooner?
