Its cosmopolitan capital Riga holds more than 800 years of history within its cobblestoned Old Town. It’s this ancient core of Riga which is most enticing to explore. Home to an abundance of architectural gems including medieval-era craftsmen and artist houses. Head to St. Peter’s Church tower and you’ll enjoy a stunning view of the city from 72 metres high. The streets are also lined with art galleries, heritage museums and a number of bars which burst into life as night descends on the narrow lanes.
