Riga , the Latvian capital, is the most important city in the whole country. Tourists love it because it is the perfect compromise between visiting and learning about the culture, as well as partying and indulging in all sorts of entertainment. Thanks to convenient air connections, it has become a popular destination for weekend city breaks. First of all, tourists are attracted by the old town, inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List .

The old town of Riga has been protected mainly due to the well-preserved bourgeois houses, cobbled streets and the buildings of merchant guilds, which remind us of the times when Riga was an important center of the Hanseatic League. In addition, this Latvian city can boast a large number of Art Nouveau buildings . There are as many as 800 of them within the center! Of course, there are also many museums in Riga that bring you closer to the history and culture of the city and the whole country.

Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel

Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel was probably the best place I had the pleasure to stay in Latvia. It is located practically in the very center, by the river. It offers comfortable conditions. A huge plus is the ability to use the swimming pool. SPA at an additional cost. Plus a delicious breakfast included in the price and a hassle-free stay.

Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, Riga

I spent a total of two nights at the Radisson hotel in Riga. I can recommend this place with a clear conscience. It is located in the center, in a tall skyscraper. The view from the restaurant on the 26th floor, especially at night, was simply amazing. The room met my expectations - it was bright, clean, and the bed was more comfortable than at home. There is also a swimming pool and a whole wellness center on site.

Central Hostel

Generally, it is not difficult to find cheap accommodation in Riga. However, my friends and I decided to stay in a hostel. Our choice fell on Central Hostel, which may not be located in the old town itself, but in its close vicinity. The dormitory rooms are interestingly arranged - colorful and spacious. The shared kitchen could be bigger, but that's a detail. Because there are a lot of good and quite cheap pubs around.

Radisson Blu Daugava Hotel, Riga

This hotel is located on the opposite side of the Daugava River from the old town. But you can get there on foot in just a few minutes. However, the views of the city and the river are simply amazing. The hotel offers beautiful, modern and very neat interiors. The service is at the highest level. A very enjoyable stay.

Grand Poet Hotel and SPA by Semarah

The Grand Poet hotel was certainly not the cheapest accommodation option in Riga, but it was worth every zloty (okay, euro) spent there. It is a very exclusive and elegant facility. It offers wonderful, almost palatial, but quite modern interiors. Close to the old town and several parks. Delicious breakfasts with high-quality products. Possibility to use swimming pools and saunas.
