About Riga
Riga is the capital of Latvia and the largest city in the Baltic region, situated at the mouth of the Daugava river on the shores of the Gulf of Riga. Founded in 1201 by Bishop Albert von Buxhoeveden, the city was already one of the most important Baltic trading centres in the Middle Ages as a member of the Hanseatic League.
Riga's Old Town (Vecrīga) was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. Its key landmarks include the 12th–13th century Riga Cathedral (the largest medieval church in the Baltics), St Peter's Church with its observation tower, the Three Brothers (Riga's oldest surviving residential ensemble, 13th–17th centuries) and the medieval Powder Tower and castle. Riga is also home to arguably the world's largest Art Nouveau architectural ensemble: around 800 buildings from the early 20th century, concentrated mainly on Alberta Street and the surrounding streets of the Central District.
Riga is the Baltic region's main transport, economic and cultural hub. Riga International Airport is the busiest in the Baltics. The Riga Central Market (1930) — one of the largest covered markets in Europe, housed in former zeppelin hangars — is a special architectural and gastronomic attraction.
