Latvia What to Expect

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!

WARNING! AWARE OF GOING TO RIGA ! British embassy has warned them citizens through the bbc. More than 800 visitors have been victims (have been beaten up and robbed ) as the official information says and this is just a part of that what the government cant hide and that what is being published which includes email addresses, phone numbers, names of the bars and nightclubs, its all commercials written by local people themselves and it is just hidden organized criminality what they have share from. And if u turn to them, its just a waste of ur time. And what I have experienced myself and my other friends, we can say easy racism and criminality is not only in this uncivilized society, it is even in government, that every smart journalist can investigate easily.
