This modest and relatively small city is situated on the Baltic Sea. Hence, it can be roughly divided into two parts: the right side with the Old and the New Riga, as well as other districts and suburbs and the left side, also known as "Pārdaugava" meaning "across the Daugava".
For sure, the Latvian capital is a beautiful site for a vacation. The mentioned Old Riga features countless narrow cobble streets, alleys and historical monuments. This part of the city is not high, the most buildings are three-four storey. Thus, you can easily notice the beautiful steeples and peaks of medieval churches among them.
Built in the first half of the 20th century, New Riga is an example of city's gradual development. Orthodox churches neighbor with the brand new cafes, shops and restaurants. Plus, the profusion of the Art Nouveau architecture is a distinguishing mark of this district.
No wonder that these two parts of the city have been declared the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Apart from strolling along the streets, you can explore today's 28 museums, 7 professional theatres, 12 cinemas, 4 concert halls and a zoo in Riga. The city has also very rich social life, including the Days of Art, the Assembly of Vanguard Fashion, the "Arsenals" film festival, the Nation Folk Song and Dance Festival.
Today tourists have a number of quality hotels to choose from. The largest Riga hotels are Raddison SAS, Daugava and Hotel de Rome.
There are many accommodation options on our site which will definitely make your stay not only mesmerising but comfortable too.
