Riga The capital city Riga offers a combination of historic beauty, cultural richness, and modern energy, which makes it a truly special place to explore. Here you will find the largest congress center and hotels in the Baltic countries, perfect for big size events, as well as cozy boutique hotels, funky venues and, above all, excellent and surprising gastronomic experiences. Did you know that the world’s best sommelier works in Riga? An extra bonus with Riga is the proximity to Jurmala, a vibrant beach resort only 20 km from the city and 10 km from the airport.
