Things to do in Riga

The Blackhead Palace is located on Riga's City Hall Square. Its red brick exterior features gables and spires, and the portico is adorned with elaborate reliefs and an astronomical clock. The interior now serves as a museum; the second-floor lobby boasts stained glass and murals, the colors softened by the light filtering through the glass. The basement wine cellar retains its vaulted structure, and the air is filled with the scents of stone and old wood. Several manicured trees stand in the square, and a nearby fountain operates in the summer. The building was destroyed during World War II and has been rebuilt, but the red brick hue harmonizes well with the surrounding older buildings.

St. Peter's Church is the tallest church in Riga's old city. It is 123.25 meters high and has also achieved another first. It is the tallest wooden church in the world. Of course, this church has also had a lot of bad luck. It has been struck by lightning and burned and destroyed in history. After many hardships, the top of the tower we see now has been changed to a metal structure. The tower has a viewing platform. The old city and church in Eastern European countries are the same. Climbing high and looking far away, overlooking the city is always an indispensable program. Don't miss it.

The cathedral in Riga is absolutely insane with the beauty and especially with the snow !

I climbed up the hillside viewing platform in the dark half an hour early. There weren't many people, so I didn't have to fight for a spot. A cool breeze was blowing, making it pleasantly cool. Before long, I saw the sky slowly turn red, from pale pink to orange-red. Then the sun jumped out from behind the mountains, dyeing the entire sea of ​​clouds golden-red. The clouds surged and rolled to my feet, feeling like walking on cotton candy. On the way down, an old lady was selling freshly steamed corn by the roadside. Five yuan a ear, sweet, sticky, and fragrant, it warmed me from head to toe. It was a hundred times more breathtaking than watching the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds on a phone.

Riga is a beautiful city with so many attractions to explore, beautiful architecture and a delicious cuisine. The old town itself is mesmerising, looked after and a very clean. To have a beer or a spritz at the Cuba cafe in a very hot summer day is refreshing.

Personally, I would rate it 5 out of 5. It stands out even from afar, and I was blown away by the atmospheric exterior. There's nothing particularly interesting to see inside the building, and the observation deck is far from the old town, so you can't look down on the cute cityscape. Instead, you might be able to see the Riga landscape in its entirety. I was able to see some beautiful churches in the distance that I didn't see in the guidebook, and my interest in the city has grown.
