Riga, the capital city of Latvia has the largest amount of preserved Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Outstanding museums, avant-garde theaters, elegant cafes, wonderful exhibitions, and an energetic nightlife make Riga a classic European city.
Riga’s cafes and restaurants are known for their high quality and relatively low prices. A cup of coffee and a small pastry in an elegant cafe are an intimate part of local way of life. In Old Town squares and public gardens, you will find open-air beer gardens. The service quality is usually higher than in many other European countries. Also, a number of discount hotels can be found in Riga to suit all travelers’ needs.
Riga is the city that never sleeps, and this statement is especially true in the summer, when the sun so briefly sets. Riga nightlife starts around 8-9pm when people begin to gather in restaurants and cocktail bars. Nightclubs open around 10-11pm. Generally, girls fill the nightclubs first as there is often no entrance fee or discounted fees for women until midnight, while the real party usually starts after midnight. For accommodation, Planet Holiday has a number of discount hotels in Riga for you to choose from.
