Another new country right after Glasgow & Scotland! I came back late night and Finnair managed to forget my luggage at Heathrow. Congrats. Just repacked a bit into another suitcase and off we went to Riga the next morning. I was expecting some old buildings an a hint of Tallinn in the city...But no, it was so much more and better! There were so much mix of building styles and walking around was a joy for the eye. Great food too and prices very decent. This city deserves a lot more attention than it has now, you will be def get a good trip out of this country.
Home for less than 12 hours and off we go again
Finnair should really upgrade these TOO OLD rotator planes
Hello beautiful Riga! At the tower of Riga Cathedral
Pretty cool chocolate shop we walked into
Wow wow wow old town!
The park was something else! Got it's idea about a canal from Venice
Starry starry night
When you just keep waiting in life for things to happen, faith will be as this guys
Cat hostel. Wonder who got this idea? At least dinner is served here
Animal Farm
It's difficult to catch Riga on a picture because every street you take has something you want to take a picture of. The buildings are remarkable. Sweden, Germany and Russia all colonised here back in the days
The picture does not do it right but there are 3 buildings made in different style next to each other. Really pretty area!
Tallest tower in EU. Old Russian heritage, always watching you
Get your coffee at KURTS
Independence mark
Went to listen to a concert in the catherdral
The "Swedish Gate" suppose to give fortune if passing it. Let's see...
Riga market place is in 4 old blimp / Zeppelin hangars. So much nice food and the place is just one of kind! I have never before been in a blimp hangar!
How much is the fish?
There was a really nice fish restaurant too
Art...or something
A fine evening cigar! With a view
LIFT!
Old rail tracks to the port
This was my favourite place! It's just 1.5km north of downtown. Lot of graffiti, cool athmospere in the evening with cool bars and chill looking people. Can find it as "Tallinas ielas kvartäls"
Love the mushroom-man
Broken vespa? Let's grow flowers from it
Shop till you drop
I also came here in the evening and it was packed with people!
Future can and will always wait
Found some abandoned looking houses but also saw someone coming out of it
Ghost house much?
Dark alleys
