Riga

Riga is Latvia's capital and the largest city in the Baltics, with Art Nouveau architecture covering roughly one-third of its Old Town. The city sits on the Daugava River and was a major medieval trading hub, which explains the density of guild halls and merchant houses in the center. If you're traveling with kids, the old town is walkable enough that you don't need much of a plan, though a local guide cuts the time it takes to actually understand what you're looking at.
