Where do you think of when you contemplate a city that is bursting with elegance, stunningly beautiful architecture, delightfully rich food, and is boasting a chic European atmosphere? Paris, London, Berlin, or perhaps even Amsterdam? Certainly all those cities fit these descriptions, but there is one highly underrated capital city that fits in neatly with such European all-stars. Riga, the capital city of Latvia, gracefully sneaks up on you. For being the largest city in the Baltics, it has a shockingly beautiful fairy-tale like Old Town, one of the world’s richest collections of Art Nouveau architecture, and a food scene that quietly rewards lingerers. These photos from a mother-daughter trip in 2024 will prove to you why a visit to Riga should be high on your Bucket List. If you’re seeking captions, just click on the individual photos.
