YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Come with me on a vibrant adventure as I explore the beautiful city of Riga! I'll be taking you on a journey to see the amazing art nouveau architecture and quirky statues, all while enjoying the local culture. From exploring the iconic landscapes by canal river cruise to sampling the local cuisine, this Riga travel vlog is packed with surprises at every turn! We arrived into port on the Norwegian Dawn at 11am and I spent a little time in the hot tub (of course!) before heading out to explore Riga on foot. I started with a one hour canal river boat cruise and then spent several hours walking around the Old Town of Riga where every corner gave me another incredible surprise - gorgeous architecture, cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, cathedrals, culture, food, drink and so much history... it was a day to remember, and a new city and port to top my list of favorite places in Europe!!
