Riga is an ideal option for travelers who want to enjoy a relaxing yet original spring trip.

It is a true Baltic gem. The city has perfectly preserved its ancient culture and enriched with the beauty of modernity. The ancient narrow streets invite you to antique shops and atmospheric cafes. And the fairy-tale houses are home to many urban legends, writes Zahranid 24.

One of the city's highlights is the Central Market, one of the oldest in Europe. And Riga's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every stone there is a witness to the city's centuries-old grandeur.

Art lovers are invited to visit numerous museums in Riga, and in local parks, you can get acquainted with the nature of the mysterious Baltic. A bonus for all furry lovers - Riga is home to the Cat House.

Delicious business cards of the city are Riga balsam and Riga sprats. They are most often taken as souvenirs to loved ones. Other popular products in Riga are chocolate, hard cheese, and beer.

Prices in Riga and Latvia, in general, are quite low by EU standards. Therefore, you can plan a trip on a budget.

As TravelWise previously reported, the Baltic states are expanding the geography of international air travel. In particular, Latvian national airline airBaltic has announced the launch of direct flights between Riga and Alicante.
