Riga

Sitting on the wide and slow Daugava river in the heart of the Baltics, Riga is the capital of Latvia and has the feel of a city that is just coming in from "the cold" of communism. A pretty historic centre mixes a little uneasily with concrete municipal buildings and Soviet-designed transport.

Our apartment was lovely. Very clean and with an excellent view. Could have done with a few more utensils in the kitchen and a few less steps to the front door but no real concerns at all. There are probably a number of different apartments available, but the one we stayed in had a lovely view above the square with the 3 riflemen. ... more

    up warm. Halfway to Riga we found a really nice spot for lunch and took it easy there for a good two hours to ensure we arrived in Riga when our host Igor had finished work. Igor guided us to his parent's aparment (Alex and Jana) where we showered before heading out onto the town. Riga was very quiet, but we ...

Good value for your money! Even though it is a little bit far you can easily catch the tram and it takes you almost to the doorsteps :) I highly recommend the DODO! It was also very quiet, slept tight

Pleased with everything apart from the fact that the bathroom door on the fourth floor has no lock so anyone who was foolish enough to burst in on me in the nude got their just deserts.
