Riga sightINTRODUCTION


Someone once described Riga as “the Window of the Baltic.” It is certainly a very pleasant window and much may be seen from it. Whatever the time of the year, it will be Riga – the largest Baltic city, which offers the most… The city, often referred to as the “Paris of the North”, is well-known for its architectural and cultural values and rapidly developing economics.

If you are wondering what to expect – forget, any notion that the journey into the Baltic States of the 21st century is going to be a grim procession of visas, dodgy police, border controls, and street criminals. The Soviets left more than a decade ago… and Latvia is now undergoing a rapid transition to a European Union member state.
