Riga is the largest and most cosmopolitan of the Baltic capitals. Here, medieval meets contemporary in a history and architecture lover’s dream. Vaulting gothic spires and domes of ancient churches dot the narrow cobblestone streets of the UNESCO-listed Old Town, while wide boulevards host striking and ornate examples of stunning Jugendstil Art Nouveau buildings in the new town. Upscale shops mingle with modern art galleries and hip bars, amid innovative, candlelit restaurants, creating a vibrant atmosphere, day or night.
