Some say that Riga is the new Prague. Others consider it an up
market alternative to Amsterdam. Its shopping district is
referred to as 'Little Paris'. The truth is that Riga, the
capital city of Latvia, has always boasted a rich and colourful
heritage with cobbled streets, beautiful architecture and
exquisite boutiques and it is a melting pot of the very best
that East and West Europe has to offer. With travellers now
demanding a wider variety of new and exciting destinations to
visit, Riga, nestled between Estonia and Lithuania and bordering
Russia, provides the perfect platform to explore the Baltic
States.
With Cheap Flights to
Riga now widely available and an excellent choice of
modern and traditional hotels, Riga is fast becoming one of the
most popular city break destinations ranging from short stays of
2 or 3 nights up to week long stays. Most hotels offer fantastic
massages and on-site Casinos as gambling is a favourite national
pastime!
With an excellent nightlife easily rivalling (and bettering)
that in other Eastern European cities, Riga makes for the
perfect stag/hen weekend away and offers you an unrushed, clean,
green and affordable alternative to Amsterdam. Shopping in
Riga is great as you can pick up designer bargains along
with handmade chocolates, which are unique to Riga. For tourists
