We left Liepaja in the morning after a good breakfast and it was very cold outside so we wrapped up warm. Halfway to Riga we found a really nice spot for lunch and took it easy there for a good Posted by EdAndJames in Coastin' Around | Apr 1, 2009

We had breakfast in a great cafe nextdoor to our hotel with good food, good music, comfy chairs and georgeous waitresses - perfect!

Just a short word on an adventure we had in Riga Latvia. After staying at the cool 'old town hostel' with a fantastic kitchen and infinite cider, yet no beer at the downstairs bar/check in place we ran into a Posted by timandcait in Tim and Caitlin's European Megadventure | Jan 23, 2009

Neither one of us have been on as many long distance bus rides as we have on this trip, and the ones in Croatian and Montenegro were not the most comfortable. Therefore, when we found out there are no Posted by jhongny in While We Are Out... | Sep 1, 2008

E infine Riga.
L’arrivo è abbastanza traumatico. I tratti, le facce, la stazione, le vie danno molto di Russia, della vecchia Russia. Lineamenti sicuramente più duri di quelli dolci estoni, ma ci abituiamo subito al nuovo clima, sotto una bella pioggia Posted by paolino79 in Paolo Lattanzio's Travel | Sep 15, 2007

Tätä pientä kaupunkia ei olla suotta kehuttu keskustelupalstoilla tai oppaissa. Siguldaankin pääsee kätevästi junalla Riiasta, eikä matkan hinta päätä huimaa: 1,81 LTS/hlö, meno-paluu! Maisemat matkalla ei toki ole kummoisia, mutta onpahan vaihtelua Riian Posted by Hörhöt in Hörhöjen seikkailuja | Sep 12, 2007

'Riga this week' tarjosi vinkkinä kävelykierroksen vanhassa kaupungissa karttoineen ja sitä soveltaen siis tutkimusmatkalle. Vanha kaupunki on melkoisen tiivis kokonaisuus, joten mainitut kohteet sijaitsivat suurinpiirtein vieri vieressä. Ja koko vanha ka Posted by Hörhöt in Hörhöjen seikkailuja | Sep 11, 2007

Koska reissumme ensimmäinen päivä sattui maanantaille ja niin museot kuin kirkotkin pitivät ovensa tiukasti kiinni, päätimme lähteä pyörähtämään Jurmalassa.

We arrived here after the most unnecesarily long bus journey from Tallinn. Cracking city - nice old town that has UNESCO heritage status.

Riga, Latvia...Feb 2006
Early February in London. A chilly 7 degrees, if you´re lucky. Miserable, grey, bleak, dark... I´d thought it would be nice to have a few days somewhere sunny. Malta, perhaps, or maybe Cyprus. - somewhere I hadn´t yet Posted by Backpasher in Backpashing Europe | Feb 28, 2006
