Riga is the largest city of the Baltic states: a medieval old town on the Daugava and streets full of Art Nouveau faces and dragons.
Walk the old town from the House of the Blackheads to the Dome Cathedral and the Three Brothers, the oldest houses of Riga. Climb St Peter's tower for the view. Then go to the Quiet Centre to see the Art Nouveau facades of Alberta iela and the Art Nouveau Museum. See Latvian art at the National Museum of Art, and visit the Central Market in five old Zeppelin hangars. Take the bus to the Open-Air Museum by Lake Jugla for a half day in the countryside.
