A night at the opera in Riga
A visit to the Latvian National Opera in Riga is a must for everyone interested in culture, architecture, interior, art and local culture.
Latvia is a hidden gem in the heart of the Baltics that I truly wish to explore deeper. Its vibrant capital, Riga, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a city where history meets modernity. Did you know that Riga has the world’s largest collection of art nouveau architecture?
Wander through its charming Old Town, a picturesque maze of cobblestone streets and medieval architecture. Fall in love with the eyecatching early 20th century architecture. Indulge in the local cuisine and artisan beer at cosy cafes and experience a lively arts and culture scene. Go shopping in Europe’s largest indoor market.
While I yet have left to discover everything from the country’s beautiful forests (probably lovely in autumn) and pristine lakes to its stunning coastline along the Baltic Sea, you can read my posts on Riga below.
