Advantages: Cheap, friendly place to visit, interesting architecture. Disadvantages: Might not last too long in its current state. Freezing cold in winter.
Latvia is not somewhere that would immediately spring to mind when deciding on a city break, but when we researched a possible weekend away for between four and six people (all male) within our budget (£200), there was no clear cut winner. Riga, Berlin, Prague and Barcelona were all able to offer a flight/hotel combination for within that. Riga was decided on by vote, purely for the reason that it was only really opening up as a destination and had that 'kudos' factor that all new things seem to have.
Most of our group flew out of Dublin with Ryanair, though there are other routes available from England and one of our party flew with Ryanair out of Stansted. Flights will obviously vary in price, depending on who you're flying with, when you're flying and how far in advance you book. Booking tickets with Ryanair at Christmas for an end ...

Advantages: Architecture, history, market Disadvantages: Technical University, too many bridges
. Although for some reason you couldn't take photographs indoors. Go figure? One things for sure, there's plenty of good eating going on in Riga - whether your average Rigan could afford it though, I couldn't say.

WELCOME TO THE HOTEL MAFIOSO
The aged old crone sat at the desk eyed us quizzically as we entered the supposed accommodation block of the Technical University. She spoke no English. We gesticulated enthusiastically. She eyed us like we were morons. We felt like morons. There were no rooms. Not for us Lebanese scum any way. We left. "Where's the Tram, Ade? We're going back over the river."
Some hours later, our final destination turned out to be Hotel Mafioso (real name: Hotel Kia). It featured copious guards who were dressed in black and carrying worryingly efficient and spectacularly deadly looking sidearms. They glowered ...

Advantages: The old town central to accomodation and airport. Disadvantages: Bars a little too expensive and can be a little too laid back.
's old town is beautiful and very very clean. There is a museum of the occuptation of Riga, it is hardgoing with vast amounts of reading but is very interesting and does provide english audio. They were occupied by the Soviet and the Nazi's. Close to the town centre is a park with things like pedal boats for romantic trips on the river. Latvians are very proud of their romantic culture, a bridge is covered in padlocks engraved with the nmes of married couples. There is allegedly a historical tour of Riga, however we waited twice in a row and it never showed up, very quizzical. There are plenty of churches and chathedrals to visit, most of which you have to pay to gain entry but the spires can provide beautiful views of the city.
Weather; we visited in June and July and the weather reached the 30's and not a drop of rain.
