Riga, Latvia’s architecture is lovely! Much of it is the Art Nouveau style. I love the variety of shapes, colors, and styles…
The view of the Daugava River and Old Town is spectacular from the top of St. Peter’s Church!
I could see the street where our over 100-year-old Airbnb was located…on the left side!
On Midsummer Day, June 24th, we boarded a Lux Express bus at 8:30am from Tallinn, Estonia and arrived 4 1/2 hrs. later in Riga, Latvia. The bus was equipped with wifi and a restroom, and was quite comfy. Upon arrival, we walked 15 minutes to our Airbnb, which was located right in the heart of Old Town. Actually, a little too close for comfort. Music from a nearby restaurant/bar disturbed my sleep at night. When you’re searching for an Airbnb that has everything you’re looking for: location, space, amenities — sometimes it’s difficult to have a clear picture of what you’re getting.Â
After settling in, off to the Supermarket we went. With only 2 1/2 days to explore Riga, there was much ground to cover.
Riga’s Old Town was filled with restaurants and cafes!
The Pilsetas Kanal is quite lovely…
Wandering through the Central Market we discovered fragrant flowers…
and heaps of fresh fruits and vegetables…
