Riga is an incredible blend of interesting history, impressive architecture, fun places to party and plenty of activities to suit everyone. It is the perfect place for a city break, but how do you see the best of the city if you only have 3 days in Riga? This is your perfect long weekend in Riga itinerary.
A short drive from the exciting city of Riga lies the remarkable Gauja National Park. Cool castles, perfect pine trees and Soviet history all coexist in Sigulda. If you have time, it is worth sticking around Gauja to experience everything it has to offer. However, if you are only in Riga for a short time, why not make it an epic day trip from Riga?!
AirBaltic is Latvia’s national airline, although you would never know it. Great prices and a lack of flag in their logo makes it seem like a private company, rather than 80% state-owned. Mind you, I only know this with hindsight. When I checked in for my airBaltic flight to Riga, I just thought they were a low-cost carrier in the Baltics and so I had no prior expectations. Here is my airBaltic business class review on the Airbus A220-300 from London to Riga.
