In 2014, it was called the European Capital of Culture. Riga, because we are talking about it, is a city with a population of 700,000 and a large number of monuments. Most of them are located in the UNESCO-protected old part and we can easily get to know them in one day. The capital of Latvia is a multicultural center, and - which is extremely important - Latvians do not constitute the majority of citizens. Tourists who know Russian will probably use it more than English. The main square of Riga is the Cathedral Square with the temple, which we can admire today in the form given at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. During the renovation, among others, cockerel from the top of the tower and renovated interiors. You can see beautiful stained glass windows and listen to a 30-minute concert on an organ with 7,000 pipes. The entrance ticket to the Rīgas Doms (cathedral) costs 3 euros. From the top of the tower there is a wonderful view of the entire city.
