Riga mixes Baltic history, Hanseatic streets, art nouveau facades, markets, parks, and a lively cafe and bar scene into a compact capital that rewards slow wandering.
Best time to visit: Late spring through early autumn offers the most comfortable weather for walking the old town, riverfront, and parks. Winter is colder and darker but can be atmospheric around holiday markets and indoor culture.
Getting around: The historic center is very walkable, and trams, trolleybuses, buses, and taxis cover longer trips. Public transport works well for the airport link and neighborhoods beyond the old town.
Local tip: Look beyond the old town for Riga's art nouveau streets and market halls; they show a broader, less touristy side of the city.
