5 reasons to be in Riga on August 15-16 RIGA Regatta is a part of Riga City Festival while almost each street is turned into celebration place with surprises. Riga pearl of architecture, specially it's Art Nouveau with nothing so gorgeous to be seen all over the world. The Old Town speaks with its medieval ambience, bell dings and roosters as well as cats sitting on top of towers. Last chance to catch a southern feeling in a northern city this year! Quality in cozy restaurants, in street cafes surrounded with flowers, in bright shopping moles and in friendly farmers or craftsmen shops.
