Riga

The landscape around Riga is low-lying and shaped by the broad Daugava River, which has influenced both the city’s layout and its role as Latvia’s principal port. Latvia’s capital spreads across both banks of the river, with the Gulf of Riga lying a short distance downstream on the Baltic Sea. The UNESCO-listed historic centre combines medieval streets in Old Riga with a remarkable concentration of Art Nouveau buildings from the early 20th century. Riga Central Market, installed in former airship hangars, remains a major place to encounter Latvian food culture.
