4 days in Riga Itinerary

Often referred to as "The Paris of the North," Riga offers thriving nightlife and some of the best collections of Art Nouveau architecture in Europe.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Vermanes Garden and Cesis Medieval Castle. Step out of Riga to go to Jurmala and see Kemeri National Park, which is approximately 46 minutes away. Spend the 3rd (Tue) exploring nature at Gauja National Park. There's lots more to do: take a peaceful walk through Dzintari Forest Park, see the interesting displays at Riga Motormuseum, admire the striking features of JJugenda Stila Nami, Riga, and let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour.
