An unforgettable city to explore 🇱🇻👫😎

#urbanwanderings My urban wanderings in Riga, the capital and largest city of Latvia, were a fascinating mix of history, culture, and striking architecture. As the largest of the Baltic capitals, Riga captivated me with its magnificent Old Town, where cobblestone streets and medieval buildings created a storybook atmosphere. The towering spires of St. Peter’s Church and the House of the Blackheads stood out as highlights of the city’s rich heritage. Exploring further, I was amazed by Riga’s Art Nouveau district, where ornate and sometimes eerie façades showcased intricate designs and faces seemingly frozen in stone. Riga’s blend of old-world charm and architectural wonders made it an unforgettable city to explore.
