Groupon's Guide To Riga

Straddling the Daugava River, Riga marries ancient and new in a blend of Russian and Latvian cultures. From open-air museums, world-renowned churches and the Art Nouveau buildings that have earned Riga’s status of UNESCO World Heritage Site to music festivals and taverns, the Latvian capital has plenty of entertainment for tourists.

Travellers may visit the House of the Blackheads, once a medieval meeting place for German merchants, reconstructed following its destruction in the 1940s. The contrastingly modern monolith of the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia offers an insight into the country’s turbulent 20th century history, while the towering spire of St. Peter’s Church offers glorious metropolitan views. Visitors may also dive into Latvian life by exploring the Central Market, a vast, colourful sprawl of stands based in converted hangars. The climate in Riga is humid continental, and most of the time the sky is cloudy and the temperatures are quite low. The summers are hot and humid, boasting a level of 310 hours of sunshine, while during winters the temperatures drop below freezing and the days are not as bright as in the previous seasons. The city’s location near the sea delivers rainy days and fog during autumn and spring.
