Introduction

Riga is the Capital of the Republic of Latvia but can be also considered the "capital" of the Baltic States for its location, size of its population (Riga: 747.000, Vilnius: 541.000, Tallinn: 397.000), architectonic and cultural richness and financial and commercial importance. In fact many countries have their embassies for the Baltic's States here (Riga: 34, Vilnius: 32, Tallinn: 26)

The old town of Riga has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site but all the city is particularly notable for its extensive Art Nouveau architecture, comparable in significance only with Vienna, Prague and Barcelona.

Its big choice of bars, clubs, restaurants, the atmosphere and one of the highest ratio women / men makes it the perfect place for party lovers.
