Sitting on the wide and slow Daugava river in the heart of the Baltics, Riga 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.

For the visitor, facilities are 21st Century - good hostels and hotels, easy transport links, accessible attractions, tasty food and good, cheap beer.
