    Whilst Riga isn't the most obvious destination for a city break, if you visiting the Baltic countries - it's worth checking out for sure.
    Let me know what other city guides you'd like to see next? 👇

    Hello Ninh! I can agree that Riga is a very nice place! As a Latvian native, I can address a few things. 1. The reason why Riga is under so much construction is because of the ongoing Rail Baltica project, which is meant to integrate the Baltics in the European rail network. 2. Finding free public toilets is a real problem, unfortunately. 3. The price of food and drink in Riga is kind of inflated, but outside of Riga or any of the major Latvian cities, the prices are cheaper. 4. If I had recommend other Latvian cities or towns to visit, I would recommend for example Cesis, which is considered the birthplace of the Latvian flag, Kuldiga, home of the widest waterfall in Europe: the Venta Rapid, Jurmala, Latvia’s most popular resort city, Sigulda, known for it’s famous bobsled track and cable car, which goes over the Gauja River, Ventspils, which has a lot of cows around the city (not real cows, of course) and Liepaja, the music capital of Latvia.

      😀Thanks again for your comments.
      1) Ah, that does explain it. I did wonder why there was so much of it going on at the same time?
      2) It was a little surprise to find that there are no free toilets in places where there usually are.
      3) I did find that food was inflated in restaurants and stuff like that, but small shops and supermarkets were no different to anywhere else in Europe.
      4) That's good to know - I'd love to come back and explore more of your country!

      there are some free public bathrooms in some rīga supermarkets or shopping centers, you gotta know the locations to stay safe. at least i know that there are free ones in two gallery shopping centers. there are some in the parks as well but im not sure if they are cleaned as often as the shopping center ones and there are more options in shopping centers if one or two happen to be dirty

    What a great way to show and present a city. Nice atmosphere in the video, to the point and overall informative. Not like a lot of other channels that film themselves 80% of the video instead of showing and explaining the actual attractions! Subscribed 😊

      Yes, my travel guides are to the point, helpful and geared towards helping a traveller navigate a new city or experience.
      Sadly too many RUclips travel videos are vloggers showing mainly themselves, people who make 'travel guides' that have clearly never been there, or AI generated robo-rubbish.
      I'm glad I'm not one of the above.

    I laughed hard when you recommended not staying in Pārdaugava (across the river from the old town). Because even though I think Pārdaugava has a lot of interesting stuff to see, it pales in comparison to what's in the old town and I really don't mind keeping the tourists out of the spots my friends hang around in

    • @UltimateBucketList
      @UltimateBucketList  Месяц назад +1

      It's nice, but very little to do compared to the old town.

    Great video, as usual. Well done. I loved a cheeky visit to Aberdeen last year. Don't know if you've alreay done a video on that. Was good. Aberdeen Old Town with the cathedral, and King's College, and old bridge was a surprise. It's a great UK city break.

      Thanks! Believe it or not, whilst I've driven around Scotland many times before - Aberdeen is a city I've never been to.
