I'm going to Riga at the end of the month, I'm a photographer and I have four days to see and photograph the city.. What are the best places? ;) Any tips???
Thanks!
Nuno

Hey Nuno! There is a lot of what to photograph in the Old Riga, but it would take one day. a good place for a photography is "Andrejsala" and not just the pier where shops are, but also following the road near the railway, you will find a mole on the left side of the road (go until the barrier on your left). It's a wonderful place, specially in the evenings when the sun is low and at the dark, where often huge ships are parked and unloaded by multiple cranes. If you want to make photos of Riga from a completely different perspective check out this offer here: http://www.discover-latvia.lv/boating-in-riga.php Have a great time and inspiration in Latvia :) !

Skybar view is kaleidoscopic, Old Riga is magical , do see Alberta street and Elizabeth street, churches in the old center and the museum of the occupation,the House of the Blackheads, the Museum of War, the Powder Tower, and the Dome Cathedral at Riga. Here you are transported to ancient times. Sigulda, Cesis, the fantistical Rundales castle, the Open Air Ethnographic Museum is interesting, Urmala and the view of the sea, try Latvian food in the quaint restaurants .

It depends what and how much you want to see. If only the city (in see-sight bus and some pedestrian tour) - it wold be enought

If you come to Latvia/Riga, i suggest to use urban guide www.thefixer.lv Guide will show you all clubs/shops/caffes with lowest prices. Hes making tours for groups at very low price like 4-5$ per tourist. Age focus ~ 18-40. If youre here and interested in getting to know Riga from other side, then i suggest calling him: Jacobs Berzins +371 28778866

You have to go sightseeing around the Old Riga, visit cafes and music clubs here, go to 'Lido' where is Latvian national cuisine, go to Jūrmala seaside city that is 30 min drive from Riga.
