About Riga

Riga is a city of striking contrasts—where medieval spires pierce the skyline just streets away from Art Nouveau masterpieces and cool, post-industrial spaces. The old town buzzes with amber stalls and candlelit bars, while across the canal, creative energy thrives in galleries, cafés and leafy parks.

Whether you’re after classic grandeur in a historic mansion, a sleek designer hideaway, or a stylish suite in the creative quarter, you’ll find some of the best places to stay in Riga on our guide. Boutique boltholes, heritage hotels and chic urban retreats all make the cut, with something to suit every kind of traveller.
