Riga: what did I manage to see in a few days? Today we will go to the capital of Latvia for first impressions. This is one of the poorest countries in the European Union. And the capital of Latvia, which was once part of the Swedish and Russian Empires, left its mark on history, like these states on the appearance of Riga. These are my first impressions of this city and a quick overview: the Old Town, a ride on local trams, a visit to the train station from 90, standard tourist places and of course we will see how they live in non-tourist places: Maskachka and ordinary areas?!
