Located in the Northeast of Europe you will find between <a href=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/en\/estland-baltische-staat-met-2-gezichten\/\" title=\"Estonia, Baltic State with 2 faces\">Estonia<\/a>, Belarus, Rusland en <a href=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/en\/litouwen\/\" title=\"Lithuania\">Lithuania<\/a> de Baltische staat Letland. In deze hoek van Europa vind je allerlei geweldige bestemmingen, van de bruisende hoofdsteden tot charmante kleinere stadjes en de uitgestrekte natuur dat veel van Scandinavi\u00eb wegheeft. Letland is hierop geen uitzondering. Ook al hebben alle 3 de Baltische staten veel gemeen, elk land is toch weer uniek in haar eigen opzicht. De bruisende hoofdstad Riga voelt namelijk weer erg anders als het sprookjesachtige Tallinn of het schilderachtige Vilnius.

As the largest city in the Baltic states, this city is very distinctive from the other Baltic capitals. In Riga we got the feeling of being in a large metropolis. From the lively city center with its fantastic restaurants and bars, to the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture just outside the city. And the amazing brutalist Soviet architecture with associated Babushka market halls. The capital Riga is a wonderfully lively city that, in our case in a gray February, should always be a worthy city trip.

In winter it is also a perfect winter trip, because of its northern location snow can quickly fall here, which makes for a nice combination during a city trip. The city is compact enough to be seen in 2 full days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore the beautifull city centre of Riga<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>De prachtige kleurrijke binnenstad van Riga biedt je een brede hoeveelheid aan prachtige gebouwen aan. Begin in het raadhuisplein aan je wandeling bij het <strong>Zwarthoofdenhuis<\/strong>, dit is het meest bekendste gebouw van Riga uit de 14e eeuw met als oorspronkelijk doel een soort club voor radeloze zeemannen en kooplui. Bij dit plein, het raadhuisplein, is er ook het museum van de bezetting van Letland te vinden. Dit vertelt de interessante geschiedenis van hoe de Soviet-Unie zo&#8217;n stempel heeft gedrukt op dit deel van Europa. Vanaf dit plein zie je, en die is echt niet te missen, de <strong>Petrikerk<\/strong>. Deze mooie kerk is de hoogste kerktoren van Riga en biedt een mooi uitzicht als je besluit om de toren te beklimmen voor een paar euro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zelf hebben wij het uitzichtpunt nog even bewaard, hierover later meer. Verken namelijk via de vele charmante straatjes de oude binnenstad totdat je bij de <strong>Dom van Riga<\/strong>. Dit grote complex uit de 14e eeuw is namelijk erg mooi te noemen. Hier vlakbij vind je gelijk een ander bekend plekje van Riga. Namelijk de 3 huisjes die je de <strong>&#8221;3 broers&#8221;<\/strong> noemt. Het witte huisje komt uit de 15e eeuw, de gele uit de 16e eeuw en de groene uit de 17e eeuw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Voor wie ondertussen hongerig geworden is, bij <strong>restaurant Nikl\u0101vs<\/strong> hebben wij echt heerlijk gegeten. Wij hadden een lokaal Lets gerecht wat bestond uit een uitgehold brood met daarin een soep! Het was goddelijk. In Riga kan je sowieso heerlijk uit eten, het is goedkoop en daardoor extra leuk! In de oude binnenstad van Riga is ook een levendige barcultuur aanwezig wat het ook zeker tot een partybestemming maakt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" class=\"wp-image-504\" style=\"width: 400px;\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_6172-9x12.jpeg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wander through the city center without a plan!

Dit type toren staan namelijk in meerdere voormalige communistische steden. In Moskou vind je bijvoorbeeld 7 van de torens die een zogenaamde Stalinarchitectuur hebben. Ook in Warschau vind je hier een van. In Riga staat die er dus ook, je kan voor een paar euro omhoog en je hebt ook een geweldig uitzicht over de stad! En vanaf hier zie je gelijk een van de laatste hamers en sikkels van Letland nog beter dan vanaf de straat. Weer beneden?

You can get off in the heart of the city center in half an hour. Air Baltic flies the most to Riga, which often has great prices. By train, and soon by the high-speed train of the \u201cRail Baltica\u201d project, you can get off straight into the city center. Currently, traveling through the Baltic states by train is still somewhat cumbersome, but soon it will be the best way to travel between the cities and from Poland. Until then, it is best to use buses if you want to use public transport when traveling overland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>Latvia, perfect for a city trip in Riga or a tour through this part of Europe!<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After having visited all 3 Baltic states, it is far from over for us! This corner can be called unique, the vast nature and partly culture give you the feeling of being in Scandinavia. While the typical things you see here on the street immediately make you realize that you are really in an Eastern Bloc country. Whether you go for nature, cities or of course a tour to see everything. The Baltic states are diverse! Latvia is no exception in this respect. Yet this part of Europe is not yet as visited as other regions, and that is not a problem because it is nice and quiet and cheaper \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bekijk ook onze andere Baltische staten blogs!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/en\/estland-baltische-staat-met-2-gezichten\/\" title=\"Estonia, Baltic State with 2 faces\">Estonia<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/en\/litouwen\/\" title=\"Lithuania\">Lithuania<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"1025\" data-id=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exploringhighlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/f3c1f4c1-9ba3-4765-bbd5-22806d214dbb-edited-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letland, een van de prachtige Baltische landen vol met afwisseling.
