Riga – the city of inspiration – is the capital of Latvia and one of the most dynamic cities of Northern Europe. Strategically located next to the Baltic Sea and amidst the famous continental European nations, Riga is the largest Baltic city and it brings with it the fascinating fusion of proud Latvian tradition and influences of the various countries that have occupied it. More than 800 years have shaped the city’s unique appearance and rich traditions. It presents an interesting blend of medieval centre and a modern city in such a manner that it caters to everyone’s taste as well as acquaints them with the charm of old times.
Riga has the finest art and architecture in Europe. It is nuzzled amidst Art Nouveau buildings and is situated on both banks of the river Daugava, which separates the city into two parts, Vecriga (Old Riga) and Pardaugava. Riga and its architecture suffered the blows during the wars. But the sheer love for art, culture and creativity is so deeply instilled that its heritage has been carefully preserved with a conscious effort. A walk in the streets of Old Town would be evidence enough to observe that. Today’s Riga would have far more to offer to its visitors, this vibrant and fast-evolving modern city has a booming nightlife with bars, clubs, live music and casinos. Riga sways to tunes of folk music as well as contemporary compositions. Melody plays an important role in everyday life, and whenever one finds the need to unwind or relax one could attend a music festival or a concert. Riga’s music festivals have an international reputation for their variety and high standards. Riga also offers cultural happenings for all age-groups! Every year Riga hosts large international cultural fests, and the most renowned and largest is the National Song and Dance Festival that is held once every four years with over 30,000 participants. Riga has experiences for every taste ranging from art, music, theatre and design to a wide range of cultural activities all year around.
Riga’s Art Nouveau centre has won accolades such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site and has given way to mass tourism. For the culture aficionado, Riga has several art galleries, drama and theatre groups such as the Latvia National Opera, Latvia Philharmonic Orchestra, many concert halls and more than 40 different museums like the popular State Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation and the Latvian Museum of Nature, etc.
