Riga ranked sixth among Europe’s best destinations in 2024
⠀
Every year, the European Best Destinations portal selects the most interesting and unusual destinations that, in the opinion of site readers, are worth traveling to in the coming year. Riga was included in the list of the best places to travel in Europe in 2024 and took sixth place on the list!
⠀
Here’s what the portal writes about Riga based on people reviews:
⠀
“You can admire the pedantic luxury of the rich facades of buildings for a long time in the Art Nouveau area, because about a third of the houses in the city center are real pearls of this style. Architecture, theaters, art galleries, outdoor events – this is just a small part of the entire cultural pie that can be tasted in Riga. With a luxurious Opera House, various music venues, independent cinemas and a contemporary art scene, this is one of the city’s most vibrant cultural offerings.
⠀
At the end of 2023, Latvia and Riga joined the exclusive Michelin Guide family, receiving their first star. In Riga, you can find cozy cafes or trendy restaurants on every corner in the city center. Whether it’s a white tablecloth restaurant or a place to grab coffee and vegan bread, it’s clear that people in Riga love to eat and enjoy food.
⠀
And let’s not forget about the drinks! Riga is home to the best coffee shops in the Baltics, so finding a decent cup of coffee in the city is not a problem. The same can be said about a glass of beer, because there are quite a few domestic breweries here that take their products very seriously.”
