#christmastrip In my recent trip to Riga, which is the capital of Latvia. This place is special and unique as its unique demonstration of art architecture and there are so many incredible buildings and beautiful churches. For example, one of the signature church is Riga is St’ Peter Church which is spectacular. I also climbed up to the observation point and see the beauty of whole Riga. Moreover, the central market in Riga is insane with lots of shops inside that you can purchase. #riga #tripcom #latvia

Latvia museum of occupation

In Riga, the museum of occupation provides a lasting memory to the country's occupation by Russia and Germany. it was opened in 1993 but has been renovated since then. Inside are many exhibits that inform visitors of Latvian history in the past century. The entry fee is 5 euros and is well worth it. I would suggest allowing two hours for a visit. It is well situated next to the House of the Black Heads. #latvia #riga

Baltic trip D2 - Leipaja, Latvia

After an exhausted day in Riga, picked up a car and drive 3 hours toward the west to Leipaja, the hidden gem of Latvia! Nestled on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The Naval Cathedral Church of Saint Nicholas and Karosta prison are interesting place to go. The Karosta prison was a military prison and kept its original layout and it’s guided tour only. You can even book a cell to stay overnight to experience the life of a prisoner. Surprisingly, there are around 5-7 bookings per week. The Leilpaja beach is a great place to relax, and highly recommended. A perfect ending for a day with a summer drink - aperol spritz. Getting There - 3 hours drive from Riga #timetotravel #Leipaja #latvia #beachlife #travel

The Pullman Riga is located right on the edge of the Old Town. It's a good 5-10 mins on foot from most attractions. However, this also means it's a calmer property and won't be too affected by the noise and crowds. Staff are helpful and polite. The building's façade is an historic building but the interior is modern. It's location is quite good and the street outside it doesn't see heavy traffic. Further the double windows of the rooms facing the street provide for a comfortable and quiet stay. The rooms are lovely; high ceilings and modern amenities. The premium room is very spacious and there's plenty of water, coffee and teas. There's a pool, fitness center and a sauna also, which is a very nice touch. Get the buffet breakfast also, it includes a lovely selection of fresh foods, as well as mimosas! Overall, a wonderful property. Highly recommend if hou want something upscale, comfortable and premium without cutthroat prices! #travel #explore #hotel #riga #latvia
