Riga is the Sleeping Beauty of Europe. Fortunately she did not have to sleep for more than 50 years. Now she – the Grand Lady - has woken up, shaken off her dust and got back the colours and unique beauty of her youth. She is the Cream and Dessert of European cities. Always exceeding people’s expectations.In the Old City of Riga there is a mixture of the bohemian cosiness of Prague, the cool elegance of Paris and the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Berlin, a fantastc combination for a city break. Riga is the uncrowned capital of the three Baltic countries.Europe’s largest traditional food market in central Riga with its separate zeppelin halls for bread and cakes, fish, meat as well as milk products reflect the choice that you have in Riga.The tasty Latvian beer is recommended. The cafe culture offers bohemian and cosy cafes on almost every corner. Well mixed with exclusive and elegant gourmet restaurants with surprisingly pleasant prices. And warm and friendly serving. Riga is international, a melting pot of cuisines and traditions, and you can find most country’s cuisine represented. Still, most often they serve the legendary Riga Black Balsam. This alcoholic tonic is made from a variety of herbs, and can be sipped straight or enjoyed with coffee or ice cream.As night is getting closer Riga’s pubs, night clubs, discos, casinos, cabaret shows and other entertainment establishments are being filled up. The inside temperature is sizzling hot all year long. The density of places to get hot stimulates competition and ensure a great variety in choice.
