The Old Town:
A few blocks from the Reval Hotel Latvija, and across the park from the Reval Hotel Rīdzene, the older part of the city is a striking blend of medieval, Art Nouveau, and every era between. Among the churches and museums, many cobbled squares invite you to sit and watch the world go by.
Museum of Riga's History and Navigation:
Tucked into the cloisters of the Dome Cathedral, also well worth a visit, this museum reminds you of the importance of Riga’s port in the history of international trade.
Latvia National Opera:
Opera in Riga dates back to the eighteenth century, when Mozart’s operas were performed as new works. Now the fine building also houses the national ballet company.
If you are a museum lover then we have put together a guide to museums in Riga.
