At Old City Riga (Vecriga), see its famous old churches and cathedrals, such as Riga Cathedral and St. Peter's church. Pick up a city map from the tourist information center, and stroll the narrow cobblestone streets much like 19th-century Latvians did. Note the distinctions among German, Russian, Italian, and Dutch architecture, and keep an eye out for the House of Blackheads and the Swedish Gate along the remains of the ancient city walls. On a guided tour, you can learn more about this town that has been the economic, financial, and cultural center of Baltic region since the 13th century. Don't forget to sample some of the traditional Latvian fare at one of the many restaurants. Ask Inspirock to suggest an itinerary and make planning a trip to Riga fast, fun, and easy.

Stunning city to walk about! Absolutely spotlessly clean! Sidewalks are wide and everywhere. There are a multitude of transit options. Electric scooters, Electric mopeds for sit down style from various companies for rent. Public transit Trams, trolleys and busses. There are even a couple of car rental companies with cars scattered about the city available by the minute, hour or day that include the fuel in the price. Cafes and restaurants are everywhere with most any cuisine you could want on offer. The green areas are everywhere as well and again amazingly clean! I will be back most certainly and hope to get a long term residence permit!
