First visit: November 2019
My Country #75
A few weeks ago, I visited Riga for the first time making Latvia officially my 75th visited country. I only stayed for a night in Riga although I arrived in the morning and had a flight in the evening, apart from my hotel being right in the heart of the Old Town. In case you are traveling to Riga, here are some of my travel tips.

House of the Black Heads: Built in 1334, this is definitely the most beautiful building in Riga. Make sure you plan your visit accordingly as it is closed on Mondays.
Inside the House of the Blackheads
St. Peter´s Church: This church is one of Riga´s landmark and should never be missed. Unfortunately for me, I did not visit it on my first day and it was closed the following day.
