Latvia Suggested Trips

Biggest city of the Baltic states with a population of about 2 million people. A platora of old churches and medieval walls and streets to stroll around in. Can be used as a base to vist Estonia and Lithuania as well as Russia and Finland. Quite cheap, as toe local income is very low. It has been discribed as an 'undiscovered Prague' for its medieval character.

On the first day I'd recommend going up the tower of St Peter's Church as you can get a good idea of your bearings so you won't be wandering aimlessly trying to find somewhere! The old town's pedestrian streets can be confusing as there are a few squares there!
