When to go: Summer or Mid-seasons
Where to go: The capital Riga and Jurmala
Downside: Not many things to do.
Our Experiences: Riga looks pretty much like any Scandinavian city in architecture style , in safety and in people´s education. The Soviets did not make many damage in this country. There are good restaurants and art shops all around. In the summer people go to the resort city of Jurmala ( Very popular in the communist era ) . They even go to the beach!
Hotels we love and recommend: Radisson ( Riga )
