Awesome Baltic

I have been having great moments while visiting Lithuania, Latvia and soon Estonia. The Old Towns are so magnificent. I managed to visit other towns/cities aside from capitals. Wish to come back and explore more! Lithuania - Don’t forget to visit Trakai, Kaunas! Latvia - Take a chance to explore Cēsis and Jūrmala. Both towns are easy-accessed by train from capital, Rīga.

Albert Street

Riga was great. The whole city is lovely, downtown is where all fun begins, i.e. dancing, singing, and riding beermobiles. There are beautiful buildings all around you, and the history of each of them is amazing Strolling Through Riga’s Storybook Streets 🌧️✨ Downtown Riga instantly charms with its rich tapestry of Western-style architecture and winding streets, each building whispering tales from centuries past. Even on a cloudy or rainy day, the city’s outdoor cultural landscapes sparkle with history and cozy vibes—don’t let drizzle dampen your spirits! Set out from the Town Hall Square, weaving through the maze of Art Nouveau gems on Alberta Street and stopping to admire the close-up details of decorated facades and whimsical statues. Must-do: Climb St. Peter’s Church tower for panoramic shots of Old Town rooftops painted with rain, then wander down to the Dome Cathedral where the city’s heart beats oldest. Photo spot alert: Capture reflections in puddles for unique architecture-vision shots—especially by the Blackheads House. Rain actually deepens the colors of brickwork and brings moody atmosphere to your images! Practical tips: Keep your raincoat or a sturdy umbrella handy—weather can shift quickly, and cobblestone streets get slippery. Many cafés and bakeries nearby offer shelter and hot drinks; they’re cozy breaks if you need to wait out a downpour. Most museums and historic sites open by 10:00 AM and close by 6:00 PM—early mornings mean fewer crowds and gentler light for outdoor photography. Precautions: Be mindful of wet pavement and traffic in crosswalks; waterproof shoes are a lifesaver. Some outdoor courtyards may close in heavy rain, so check ahead for access. #Riga #ArchitectureLovers #UrbanExploration #RainyDayMagic #CultureTrip
