On a solo trip to Riga Latvia, I toured around the city for two days. I loved Riga! It is a beautiful city with a gorgeous park and canal running through the center, as well as stunning architecture spread throughout the city. There are more art nouveau buildings in Riga than there are anywhere else in the world, so with the cobblestone streets, the city is just beautiful. Here are my five favorite things to see and do: 1,. Freedom Square and Bastejkalna Park 2. Town Hall Square and House of Black Head 3. St Peter's Church 4. Art Nouveau District 5. Canal Boat Ride I also visited the Central Market, which I would only recommend if you want to shop for food or souvenirs. For senior and solo travelers, the city is a delight and most of the main attractions are within walking distance. The cobblestone streets can be a little tricky when pulling luggage, but otherwise, the city is a great walking city. Riga was also less expensive than the Scandinavian countries I had just visited on this month-long trip. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Riga visitor website: https://www.liveriga.com/en/visit Scandinavian & Baltic Trip videos: Vilnius: https://youtu.be/FL8f7rP7qP8 Air Baltic-Economy: https://youtu.be/lhokVU-Xw_U Riga: https://youtu.be/ZPPP943sEds Lux Express Coach-Tallinn to Riga: https://youtu.be/l5_fMoGlSHQ Tallinn: https://youtu.be/IVK_vsC4OY0 Helsinki to Tallin Ferry: https://youtu.be/EzeAn1C4FvM Helsinki: https://youtu.be/lR6o6URJ3lM Stockholm-Helsinki Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/TTVAlq-92yE Stockholm: https://youtu.be/jUeo-BJ4WjI Flamsbana Railway from Flam to Myrdal: https://youtu.be/fJRTT2OE0Hg Bergen to Flam by Train, Bus & Boat: https://youtu.be/iNzn6c1x7JY Bergen: https://youtu.be/gkx1WQU-AZU Ponant Le Bellot Cruise Experience: https://youtu.be/kI93RZC4P_k Norwegian Cruise: https://youtu.be/Q0cEDFZo_m8 Oslo: https://youtu.be/_0GUWomILjo Copenhagen to Oslo Overnight Ferry: https://youtu.be/yVSIaNrj2AI Malmo, Sweden: https://youtu.be/ebgBHybtGjA Copenhagen: https://youtu.be/1is7PDVwI8k Please subscribe and turn on notifications to follow more of this Scandinavian and Baltic journey, including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 0:00 Intro 0:18 Freedom Square and Bastejkalna Park 1:23 St Peter's Church 2:25 Town Hall Square 4:25 Art Nouveau District 5:11 Canal Boat Ride 6:05 Travel Tips 7:39 Outro
