Travel Riga, Capital of Latvia

We are finally back to Riga after completion of the assignment in Malpils. Instead of just seeing trees, flowers and greeneries, we are now at the city of Riga, the capital of Latvia. Riga has many tourist attractions, especially in the Old Town. This place is fascinating and has many art nauveau and medievel architecture which are always visible almost everywhere.

Fine dinning at good restuarants, pubs, bars, lounges, night clubs and casinos are often stay throughout the night.

Sightseeing in Old Town is endless.

This sculptures and mouldings unveil the history of the Latvian nation. It is the symbol of freedom for the Latvians. This 42 meters tall scupture was built in 1935. Guards of honour are at the monument on weekdays. The Latvian nation people will bring flowers or candles to the monument on the most significant dates.
