This actually puts such a different perspective of Riga for me as an latvian. It makes me realize that it is actually so beautiful and magical, not the same as we see it daily :)
this is such a weird way to see my own city, you made it look so beautiful and stunning, i guess when u see it all the time it gets mundane and not that special, but i loved your vid
I suppose I never thought about it at the time, but yeah it seem quite uncrowded. Perhaps it was because I was there before summer holidays, and also was exploring through the week. It did get a little busier on a night time, but yeah it did seem quieter than most cities Peter!
It truly is spectacular, how many details you've captured in this video! I do belive that sometimes us - Latvians, forget to appreciate the true beauty of Rīga! I guess when you've seen the city so many times, the prettiness gets lost in the mundane! Thank you for this amazing video!
My Dad was a Latvian. When he died he left us 136 hectares of land in Latvia 🇱🇻 farm land. The USSR took the land after the Second World War. Demolished the huge stone farmhouse. Then in the 90’s he got his land back when Latvia got it’s independence back. I have never visited Latvia. I also have some family there. Maybe one day I will visit there..👍♥👍🇬🇧🇱🇻 Your a great vlogger ! 👍
@@BenRobson123 Of course! Tallinn is one of my favorite cities and there is so much to see! I would recommend Helsinki, however it is better to do it as a day or 2 day trip from Tallinn as it can be quite expensive compared to Tallinn. For transport around Tallinn, I recommend Trams, Buses, and Trolleybuses, less so taxis. For getting around Estonia, I highly recommend the train, as it is fast, comfy, quick, and not very expensive!
Fantastic, that is very helpful. Thank you so much! Flights from Newcastle aren’t great, but I may pick up some more cheap flights to Riga and then coach to Tallinn, and also explore Helsinki too! Thank you for the advice 😊
@@BenRobson123 I would highly recommend NOT coaching to Tallinn. The prices, comfort, and speed are really unreliable and not worth it. Try flying, or taking the train.
@@BenRobson123 Here is a tip: Do Newcastle - Helsinki flight, explore Helsinki, and then hop on a ferry to Tallinn. Probably the best option in my opinion.
Thanks for this nice video on one of the beautiful small European country that other people take for granted. Riga is in one of the small country I want to visit someday.
Heading to Riga in October for a similar solo trip, the SkyScanner model is definitely the way to see the world. £100 got me five flights over four destinations around Europe in 2019 and I'll be making many more trips like this in the near future. Can't wait to see what Riga has to offer
That’s great, you can certainly get around cheap. maybe not so much this time of year! Have a great time, I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it, safe travels!
Thank you for this video. I am Estonian, live in Tallinn. I come to Riga regularly for a certain clinic. So I have walked around quite a lot in Riga just to pass time for my bus or my appointment, because I am obsessed to use the 7pm bus to Tallinn. So I have walked around A LOT but never really looked at the city as a tourist cause there are other things on my mind when I am there. This video actually inspired me to spend some time exploring next time I go. You made a good point in the video: there is a lot very different stuff all mixed up together. So there can be a medieval building, a very nice modern building, an awful Soviet style monster and some random I-dont-know-what all on the same street. And that makes it a bit hard to grasp the soul of the place. The good thing about Tallinn, my city, is that since we were quite poor after the Middle Ages, we never did all the rebuilding and remodelling during centuries, so the medieavalness in Tallinn is a lot better preserved. And then already it became illegal to pester regions with old buildings anyway, so luckily we dont have modern buildings next to Medieval ones. So as a whole I like Tallinn more. Riga is sort of all over the place. While it does have a lot of amazingly beautiful buildings. I will definitely spend more time consciously exploring there from now on. Some of the buildings, the merchant houses, are very similar to those in Tallinn. I have tried to find the man in the box on the riverside but never managed to find it:) What hostel is that? (Sorry, if you mention it, I havent watched to the end yet). Have been looking for a normal hostel in Old town which is not too full. Honestly, havent found one. The ones I have found are packed with very weird people to say the least, or are very far from the centre. There is an Anglican church near the river in Old town. I have a cat friend there. I sometimes like to sit in the church yard and have coffee and read a book. The cat always comes (from a whole in the church, so she lives there), sleeps on my lap for a while and then leaves. And so every time. Why she trusts me like that, I dont know. It is nice to have a cool city like that a 4 hour busride away from Tallinn. Last time I was waiting for the night bus, and discovered how cool it was to walk on the bridge across the river and back. You should check out Tallinn some time. It is kind on similar, yet different. Smaller and has a more specific feeling, I think. A definitely more quiet than Riga. We just have drunk Finns. It looks like Riga the rest of Europe"s drunk people. Anyway, greetings to all the Latvians out there. By the way, I went to see a Latvian play the other day in Tallinn. "The boy who saw in the dark" God, one of the most depressing plays I have ever seen. Leaves one with no hope
Greetings from Rīga! Awesome video. If you want to see Rīga from above there is another one great point of view - Radisson SAS hotel Latvia Skyline bar and especially from lady's room here.
Thank you so much for watching everyone, I’m really pleased that this video has been so well liked 😇 If you liked this video, you’ll love a similar video I just released, a vlog of the beautiful city Gdańsk in Poland: ruclips.net/video/R408ojguihE/видео.html It’s my best video yet!😁
The whole city looks completely dead. Which it actually is since Latvia has probably the worst economics in the whole Europe and every young person flees that country as soon as they can like it's Cuba and all there's left is beggars, junkies, drunks and old people. That place is terrible. Saddest country in Europe with no light at the end of the tunnel. Everything there is in ruins and no one present to fix anything.
I currently live in Riga and I am surprised that they allowed you to filmed inside central market. It is written by the door that no pets and no filming inside. My friend did not know that filming is not allowed and someone came up to her and told her to put the camera down. Anyway your contents are great.
I also vlogged about Rīga including the Central Market. I only took a few clips and the people inside were not really bothered although I asked one of the sellers if I could film some of what they were selling and he was OK about it.
Nice video Ben! I've just got back from Tallinn and will be visiting Riga next month. Gatwick is my nearest airport and I'll be flying with another airline, but I managed to get some cheap flight tickets from the airline you mentioned for Helsinki in July. Happy travels!
Instead of Mc Donald's and Asian food, try to eat local food next time when in Riga. Delicious and very cheap Latvian dishes you can find in the restaurant LIDO. ;)
I lived in Riga for 5 years, but became desperate to return to the UK, and now I am pining for Latvia again. When I'm here, I want to be there and when I'm there, I miss home... I'm not sure how to resolve this conflict.
Hey man! I went to Riga from Newcastle a while back and have been back again. It’s my favourite city in europe, so laid back and relaxing plus for £4.99 each way it’s cheaper than staying at home for the weekend! Great video man!
Nice one, it’s a great city isn’t it. Its mad when the flights are so cheap, I’ve just got back from Riga / Tallinn yesterday. It was beautiful with all the snow! Thanks Jack 😊

@@BenRobson123 The Art Nouveau is quite a bit out of Old Riga. It's just a small area, about two streets, lined with buildings built in the Art Nouveau style. They're very large and grand looking and the style is completely different than Old Riga

Riga is an incredible good value for money, not for long I suspect
Not if more videos like this are made about it - it's not going to be a secret for long.
