"Cityspots Riga" takes you straight to the heart of Latvia's glorious little capital. Latvia has gone from independence to EU entry in little over a decade which has seen a boom in tourism to Riga. For such a small city it has a huge amount to offer. 50 years of Soviet rule has left the city with some remarkable architectural and historical landmarks completely intact. Riga highlights include: Old town of Vecriga is a UNESCO World Heritage site; Dome Cathedral (Doma Laukums); Gigantic soviet style market (Centraltirgus); Amber formed from ancient tree sap; and local drinks including the spirits Balzams. Perfect for pleasure-seeking city breakers wanting to quickly pinpoint the city's most entertaining highlights and decide what to see and do in a limited time - with essential orientation advice, shopping, sightseeing, eating and drinking, plus great ideas for low-budget entertainment too.
