Flat as a flounder, Riga's interest is in its old buildings and adventurous modern architecture—the two styles juxtaposed harmoniously within the confines of the compact downtown core. This is the proud capital of Latvia, a country that struggled against the Soviet Union for most of the past century to regain its independence, and won! Taste traditional Latvian cuisine in one of the distinctive Lidos. Shop in the central market, one of the oldest and largest in Europe. Or just enjoy the variety sights of the city—a crossroads of Baltic, Russian, and European cultures.
