Riga, Latvia: What We Did During Our 3 Day City Break
We’re on a 4 night city break to Riga, capital city of Latvia
Having spent 3 nights in Segulda (ua-cam.com/video/qZStSXmsRSE/v-deo.html), we’ve caught the train to Riga to see what it has to offer. As you’ll see in our video, there’s tonnes to do in this very liveable city.
If you’re interested in the electric boat tour along Riga City Canal, you can find out more and book at gyg.me/TewiIvHm
The free walking tour of Riga Old Town must be booked in advance. You can do so for free at www.guruwalk.com/walks/34390-old-riga-free-tour?ref=6t6xmbiywasbdh3rzks8
We stayed for four nights in Riga at an Airbnb: www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/26354780
