Riga is the capital of Latvia and is located on the Daugava River where it empties into the Bay of Riga and the Baltic Sea. Nordic and Gothic buildings in Riga create a stunning spectacle for tourists as they wander the Old Town, which is paved with cobblestones and accessible for pedestrians only. At the Central Market, visitors can buy and taste locally made bread, cheese, and fish, while at some of Riga's fun and historical pubs and restaurants, they can wash it down with a pint of delicious Latvian beer. The city is also conveniently located to some beautiful nature, and visitors can wander away from the hustle and bustle to explore the castles of Sigulda or the seaside at Jurmala.
