Sometimes, to experience the feeling of your favourite big cities, you don’t have to travel far. Riga brings together what we love about Paris, London, Madrid, and Berlin — elegance, culture, joie de vivre, and creative freedom — while preserving its own unique character.
This guide will help you see Riga through familiar emotions and discover places that might just make your usual destinations a little jealous.

Madrid
Madrid is not just a place - it’s a feeling. It’s the buzz of conversations in city squares, evenings that start with a refreshing drink and end in head-spinning adventures, aimless walks, and a city rhythm that invites you to stay outside just a little longer. In Riga, you can feel this same atmosphere in places where life happens outdoors - in parks, on lively streets, and at restaurant tables, where conversations, flavours, and togetherness matter most.

Berlin
Berlin is a city that doesn’t try to be perfect — it’s creative, a little rough around the edges, free-spirited, and full of contrasts. It’s a place where culture and nightlife coexist alongside industrial areas and green courtyards, contemporary art, and spontaneous happenings. In Riga, you can capture a Berlin-like vibe in places where the city feels less polished and more real — neighbourhoods with strong community life, alternative cultural venues, creative bars, and spaces where something unexpected is always happening.

London
London is a city with a strong character — historic and contemporary at once, where monumental architecture exists alongside vibrant everyday life, culture, and traditions. It’s a city where the day can begin in a museum, continue with a walk past remarkable buildings, and end in a lively pub.

Paris
Paris is a city where beauty lies in the details - in its architecture, leisurely meals, walks along the canal, and evenings filled with conversation and culture. It is effortless elegance, where everyday moments become small rituals and the city’s rhythm invites you to pause and savour the moment. In Riga, you can experience a Parisian atmosphere in places where aesthetics, gastronomy, and a calm urban pace come together - in cafés, parks, cultural venues, and streets that reveal themselves best through unhurried walks.
