Discovering the Historic and Vibrant Streets of Riga

#holidayitinerary Exploring Riga was a delightful blend of history, architecture, and lively city life. The Old Town immediately caught my attention with its narrow cobbled streets, colourful buildings, and charming squares buzzing with cafes and street performers. Walking past the iconic House of the Blackheads and the towering spire of St Peter’s Church, I felt immersed in centuries of history. The Art Nouveau district was equally captivating, with intricate facades and decorative details that made every building a work of art. I took a leisurely stroll along the Daugava River, enjoying views of the city and watching locals relax by the waterfront. Markets like Riga Central Market offered a taste of local culture and delicious treats, perfect for a mid stroll snack. The city feels both historic and vibrant, balancing old world charm with modern energy, making Riga an engaging and memorable place to explore.
