Creator's Key Takeaways
I recommend looking up the opening hours uh for all the places in these European towns.
They do have Uber here. They did have Uber in Lithuania and in Poland. Uh, so we're looking for a taxi maybe to take cuz we are not big fans of public transportation when most of it's in a foreign language.
When you get off the cruise ship, uh MSE does have a shuttle that runs to the middle of town. I think it's $10 or $10 per person for adults.
That was the best meal I've had all week.

Part IV of our Baltic Sea Cruise on MSC Poesia takes us to Riga, Latvia — a city full of history and surprises. 🇱🇻 We start our day visiting iconic landmarks like the Riga Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, and the House of Blackheads. From there, we take a deeper look at Riga’s past with visits to the Riga Ghetto & Holocaust Museum and the Corner House, the former KGB headquarters. Of course, no trip would be complete without checking out a local McDonald’s (for fun!) and the beautiful Freedom Monument. Back onboard MSC Poesia, we grab a quick bite at the buffet before enjoying a sit-down dinner in the Main Dining Room and then head up to explore the pool deck at night. 🎒 Travel & Filming Gear I Use Want to know what gear I bring on trips or use to film our vlogs?
