Riga (Latvia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Riga in Latvia.
Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Saint Petri Church is located in the centre of the city and has a long and varied history. It features inner cross vaults modelled on those of the dome of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck’s cathedral, plus a circular arch and sturdy, red brick walls. It is one of the most important sacred buildings of the Middle Ages and is closely linked with the development of the city. Mentzendorff House was a manorial property which German merchants had built at the end of the seventeenth century. Carefully renovated, its original splendour has been fully restored. The middle class buildings of Elisabeth and Albert Street indicate the prosperity of its past occupants. Like almost nowhere else, art nouveau has been preserved incredibly well with lavish embellishments and numerous motifs. Marien Cathedral is situated in the centre of the city and is the most important religious building in the Baltic States. Its age, dimensions and contrasting architectural styles bear witness to a long history and its famous organ, built in 1883, contains a hundred and twenty four registers and almost seven thousand wooden and metal pipes. In keeping with the age-old traditions of the Hanseatic League, the very heart of the Baltic beats within Latvia's metropolis and, with an elegant lust for life, Riga is an extraordinary treasure!

Riga (Latvia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Riga in Latvia.
Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Petri Church has been at the centre of various conflicts between the military order of the Livonian Brothers Of The Sword, and the local population. In 1666, its tower collapsed, buried eight people and, in 1721, lightning destroyed it completely. Czar Peter The Great had it rebuilt, a hundred and twenty seven metres high and with a wonderful view. Mentzendorff House was a manorial property which German merchants had built at the end of the seventeenth century. Carefully renovated, its original splendour has been fully restored along with its splendid ceilings. Marien Cathedral is situated in the centre of the city and is the most important religious building in the Baltic States. Its age, dimensions and contrasting architectural styles bear witness to a long history and its famous organ, built in 1883, contains a hundred and twenty four registers and almost seven thousand wooden and metal pipes. Where today is the highest television tower in Europe, the Latvians strived to fight for their independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Latvia has frequently been occupied by the Crusaders, the Teutonic Order, the Swedes, and finally, the Tsars. The Open Air Museum Of Folk Culture was built in 1924 and is one of the oldest open air museums in Europe. From each of Latvia’s regions, dwelling houses, churches and windmills have been re-assembled, with furniture and everyday objects. Situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Juglas the museum recalls the daily life of Latvia’s farmers, craftsmen and fishermen. In keeping with the age-old traditions of the Hanseatic League, the very heart of the Baltic beats within Latvia's metropolis, and also with an elegant lust for life, Riga is an extraordinary treasure!

TRAVELING TO RIGA, LATVIA ???????? (Our First Impressions!)
WELCOME TO RIGA, LATVIA! We were so stoked to travel to Riga, because we'll be staying in this beautiful city for 2 weeks! This is by far the longest we've stayed anywhere since we started traveling, so we're excited to explore the city and have a little bit of consistency.
After arriving in Riga at night, we then headed to our Airbnb to check in and grab a quick bite to eat. The next day, we spent the day exploring Riga Old Town (which is SO beautiful) and trying Latvian chocolate and a traditional Latvian liqueur called Black Balsam.
Overall, Riga looks like an amazing city and we are so excited to explore even more.
Thanks so much for watching! Don’t forget to like and subscribe :)

I traveled to Riga for only 4 days and managed to see and do a lot in that short given timeframe. Riga is the largest city of the Baltics and offers a lot of cool things to do in Riga itself but also just a short train ride out of the center in Sigulda.
This video showcases the combination of a city trip and and action packed day out in the nature. My personal highlight has been the flight in the vertical wind tunnel Aerodium near Sigulda - if you feel like you can even go Bungee Jumping there.

From Riga to Vilnius by Bus - Latvia / Lithuania 4K Travel Channel
The journey to Lithuania, our third Baltic country, lies ahead of us. For this trip, we bought a ticket for the long-distance bus.
It is very convenient for us. In the morning we only have to walk through the railway underpass in front of our hotel and are already at the bus station.
The bus leaves directly to the south along the Daugava. Then it crosses the river via the southern bridge, the Dienvidu Tilts. It seems that this area is mainly settled by industrial companies.
We quickly reach the flat land that is used for agriculture. The border between Latvia and Lithuania lies between the cities Bauska and Pasvalys. The Latvian-Lithuanian border can only be recognized by the trucks parking spaces to the right and left of the road. A well-developed motorway leads from Panevezys directly to Vilnius. Within the EU, the Baltic countries are also part of the Schengen area.
When driving through the vast meadows and forests, many descriptions of women and children, who had to flee from the eastern regions after World War II, come to our mind. Many have been lost and some children had to eke out a living with work on the farms for years. Some farmers would have liked forever to care for the children, but most of them wanted to go back to their relatives.
Upon driving into the city of Vilnius, we see modern office buildings and many car dealers along the street. The city provides a modern impression. Later we will also get to know the medieval core of the city.
.......

Vor uns liegt die Reise nach Litauen, unser drittes baltisches Land auf dieser Tour. Dafür haben wir uns ein Ticket für den Fernbus besorgt.
Es ist für uns sehr praktisch, da wir am Morgen lediglich eine Unterführung unter den Bahngleisen direkt vor unserem Hotel passieren müssen und schon sind wir am Busbahnhof.
Der Bus fährt direkt nach Süden an der Düna entlang und überquert diese dann auf der südlichen Brücke, die Dienvidu Tilts. In diesem Bereich scheinen eher Industriebetriebe angesiedelt zu sein.
Doch rasch erreichen wir das flache Land, das landwirtschaftlich genutzt wird. Zwischen Bauska und Pasvalys passieren wir die Grenze zwischen Lettland und Litauen. Sie ist nur noch anhand von LKW Parkplätzen rechts und links der Straße zu erkennen. Ab Panevezys führt eine gut ausgebaute Autobahn direkt nach Vilnius. Auch die baltischen Länder sind Teil des Schengen-Raums innerhalb der EU.
Bei der Fahrt durch die weiten Wiesen und Wälder fallen uns so manche Schilderungen von Frauen und Kindern ein, die nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg aus den Ostgebieten fliehen mussten. Viele haben sich verloren und manche Kinder mussten sich jahrelang mit Arbeit auf den Bauernhöfen durchschlagen. Manche Bauern hätten die Kinder gerne für immer aufgenommen, aber die meisten wollten wieder zu ihren Verwandten.
Bei der Einfahrt in Vilnius säumen moderne Bürogebäude und viele Autohändler die Straße. Die Stadt vermittelt uns einen modernen Eindruck. Später werden wir auch den mittelalterlichen Kern der Stadt kennenlernen.

Riga, City Tour by Bus - Latvia 4K Travel Channel
The weather is not quite nice on this day. The sun can only be seen from time to time. So we decide to take a city tour by Hop-On Hop-Off bus. Departure is on the banks of the Daugava, behind the Latvian Museum of Occupation at Strelnieku Square. From here, the bus drives south in a big bend around the old town to the main station and the Stockmann shopping center.
Next stops are the National Opera and the National Theater. At the Latvian National Museum of Art, the bus turns right and goes to the Orthodox Cathedral. After the circumnavigation of the Freedom Monument, the route leads through residential areas around Elizabetes iela, Krisjana Barona iela, and Bruninieku iela. Children's playgrounds and small parks characterize the scape of the neighborhood. Next stop is at the City Hotel Teater, near the modern building of the Latvian Dailes Theater.
Then it goes through the K. Valdemära iela and the Emilia Meingaila iela to the Albert Hotel in the Art Nouveau District. In this district, you find most of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in Riga. The Kronvalda park with its congress center and pretty fountain in front of it extends directly afterward. Now the bus goes directly to the Daugava and crosses the river on the Vansu bridge.
On the other side of the river are some skyscrapers. But in a residential area behind, the architectural style of some houses still corresponds to the Russian timber construction.
At the Victory Park, the bus turns back towards the Daugava. This time we cross it via the Arkmens Bridge, next to the National Library. From the bridge, you have the most beautiful panoramic view of Riga.
At the other end of the bridge, we reach our starting point and thus the end of the tour.

Das Wetter ist an diesem Tag nicht ganz so schön. Die Sonne lässt sich sich nur ab und zu blicken. Deshalb beschließen wir eine Stadtrundfahrt mir dem Hop-On Hop-Off Bus zu unternehmen.
Abfahrt ist am Ufer der Düna hinter dem Lettischen Okkupationsmuseum am Strelnieku Platz. Von hier fährt der Bus in südlicher Richtung in einem großen Bogen um die Altstadt zum Hauptbahnhof und zum Stockmann Einkaufszentrum.
Nächste Stationen sind die Nationale Oper und das National Theater. Beim Lettischen National Museum für Kunst biegt der Bus rechts ab und fährt zur Orthodoxen Kathedrale.
Nach der Umrundung des Freiheitsdenkmals führt die Route verstärkt durch Wohngegenden um die Elizabetes iela, die Krisjana Barona iela und die Bruninieku iela. Kinderspielplätze und kleine Parks bestimmen das Bild. Nächster Halt ist am City Hotel Teater, unweit des Lettischen Dailes Theater, einem modernen Gebäude.
Danach geht es durch die K. Valdemära iela und die Emilia Meingaila iela zum Albert Hotel im Art Nouveau District. In diesem Viertel sind die meisten und schönsten Jugendstilgebäude in Riga zu finden.
Direkt im Anschluss erstreckt sich der Kronvalda park mit dem Kongresszentrum und hübschen Springbrunnen davor. Nun fährt der Bus direkt zur Düna und überquert sie auf der Vansu Brücke.
Auf der anderen Flussseite erheben sich erst einmal einige Hochhäuser, doch dahinter erstreckt sich ein Wohngebiet, dessen Häuser vielfach der russischen Holzbauweise entsprechen.
Beim Victory Park biegt der Bus wieder in Richtung Düna ab und überquert sie diesmal auf der Arkmens Brücke neben der Nationalbibliothek. Von der Brücke aus hat man den schönsten Panoramablick auf Riga.
Am anderen Ende der Brücke erreichen wir wieder unseren Ausgangspunkt und damit das Ende der Rundfahrt.

Walking in RIGA / Latvia - Old Town to Market Halls - 4K 60fps (UHD)
A winter walk in the windy Latvian capital. We are going from the train station over to the old town. No vlog, no intrusive faces or talking - just realtime walking enjoying the streets of Riga.
We head to the Riga castle and over a few Christmas markets. This walk follows many sights of Riga like the Freedom monument, Powder Tower, Swedish Gate. There is a lot of wind noise here sometimes - sorry about that.
I somehow missed a turn going to the House of the Blackheads. When you are there, make sure to stop by. I added a photo in the cover at least.
We end the walk strolling through the market halls and head back at the train station.
Filmed in early January 2019

Mic: Zoom H1
Note: The silence for ca. 40 sec from 50:26 is due to some background music on the street that had to get deleted.

SECRET TOUR OF THE KGB HOUSE | Riga Latvia
Riga, Latvia has become one of our favorite places this summer! We took a tour of the KGB House which has been turned into a museum. However after our tour, our guide took us to the untouched basement and upstairs of the house, and it was very spooky. This vlog also includes a local Latvian lunch of dumplings which we were charged by the weight, and a massive cup of coffee. Both SUPER affordable compared to what we've been paying in Iceland!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

Latvia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Latvia.
Latvia is a small Baltic republic, a country with a strong national identity, situated within the centre of the Baltic States. Throughout the course of history its desire for freedom has always taken it forward. Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Saint Petri Church is one of the oldest in the centre of the city and, at the same time, a main landmark. It is one of the most important sacred buildings of the Middle Ages and is closely linked with the development of the city. Close to Riga is Jurmala, today a popular health resort on the Latvian Riviera, with splendid bay-windowed villas, battlements and towers, formerly Baroque and later with a nod at Gothic. Thirty kilometres of beaches with bright erinaceous quartz and a mild climate created a holiday paradise in the nineteenth century. Amid the fertile Zemgale Plain is the magnificent, huge Baroque Jelgava Castle, the largest in Latvia. In 1737 the residence of the then secular ruler of the Duchy Of Kurland was built on the ramparts of an ancient castle of the Livonian Order. Beneath the southeast corner of the castle is the Crypt Of The Dukes, a tomb vault with thirty superbly decorated sarcophagi of tin and wood. The picturesque primordial river valley of Gauja has for centuries attracted travellers from each corner of the world. This Livonian Switzerland not only has the charm of primary nature, but also all the ambience of the Middle Ages. Today’s Latvia is now striking a healthy balance between a market economy, ancient traditions and the burdensome legacy of a turbulent past. Its journey into the European Union has been a success, thanks to courage, strength and faith!

Exploring Riga, Latvia - May 2019
A detailed exploration of the city of Riga, the capital of Latvia, taken over several days in May 2019.
I've just added a new film to my Tourism: Latvia playlist, here: of a detailed exploration of the city of Riga in Latvia.
Riga is the capital, the largest and primate city of Latvia. With 632,614 inhabitants (2019), it is also the largest city in the three Baltic states, home to one third of Latvia's population and one tenth of the three Baltic states' combined population. The city lies on the Gulf of Riga, at the mouth of the Daugava river. To read more about Riga, click here: .
This film begins at Riga Bus Station, before moving into the Old Town, from here the streets, statues, buildings, architecture, businesses and churches are explored. Outside of the Old Town, the journey heads across parkland towards The Radisson Blu hotel and from the top floor Skyline Bar there are impressive views of Riga. Back into The Old Town St. Peter's Church is explored and then from the tower there are again views over the city of Riga. After this there is a short tour of The Old Town on a beer bike, before further exploration of the streets and squares, and then a walk through the Old Town to the markets and then on to the Latvian Academy of Sciences Observation deck for sunset views over the city. The journey them moves on to the railway station, for views of passing trains. Finally the film ends outside the railway station, watching a firework display.
