Riga is a nice place to visit, especially in the spring when there are fewer people. You will see pretty streets with old town charm and notable Art Nouveau buildings just a short walk from the center. If you enjoy food, you will like the local dishes, which are tasty and not too expensive. In the summer, the city can be quite busy with many tourists, which makes it lively, but it might be too crowded for some people. The city shows signs of its history, with reminders of its past as a communist country mixed with modern life. Public transportation is okay, but you might have some difficulties if you do not speak Latvian. The city is generally safe, so you can explore freely, especially in popular areas like the old town. Be sure to take your time walking and enjoy the local customs—you may find some great places away from the usual tourist spots!
