Join me as I explore the historic charm of Riga, Latvia, and stay at the picturesque Hotel Justus, located in the heart of Old Town. Riga is a captivating city where medieval history meets modern European living, and in this vlog, I take you on a journey through its cobblestone streets, historic landmarks, and local food scene.

The adventure begins at Hotel Justus, a unique boutique hotel situated in a building dating back to the 16th century. This charming hotel blends vintage architecture with contemporary amenities, offering a cozy and comfortable stay in the heart of the Old Town. The rooms are beautifully designed, and from the windows, you can enjoy views of Riga’s iconic medieval structures. If you’re a history enthusiast or simply love exploring ancient cities, this hotel’s location is unbeatable.

As I wander through the narrow streets of Riga’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city’s rich history comes to life. From the Dome Cathedral, whose walls date back to the 14th century, to the cobblestone squares filled with quaint cafes, there’s something magical about this area. The medieval architecture tells the story of Riga’s past, making it a fascinating destination for history lovers and curious travelers alike.

No trip to Riga would be complete without experiencing its culinary offerings. Riga’s food scene is diverse, with a heavy emphasis on pork, which is featured in many traditional dishes. I share my thoughts on some local meals, highlighting both the hits and misses. One restaurant experience, in particular, stood out for its unique approach to dining, though the quality didn’t quite meet expectations. Regardless, it was an opportunity to try new flavors and explore Latvian cuisine.

Throughout the video, I also share helpful tips for travelers planning to visit Riga. From the best times to visit to practical advice on using public transportation, I provide insights to help you make the most of your trip. Riga’s compact size makes it easy to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. The city’s blend of historical and modern elements makes it an appealing destination for a wide range of travelers.

If you’re planning to visit Riga, I recommend coming in late summer or early fall, when the weather is cool but the crowds are thinner. It’s also a great time to enjoy the city’s outdoor spaces and attractions without feeling overwhelmed by tourist crowds.
