Riga Eight hundred years have shaped the city’s unique appearance and rich traditions. Due to its geographical location on the Baltic Sea (where East and West meets), Riga has been an important centre of trade, finance and culture for centuries. Riga has unique values due to its rather intact medieval architecture and that of later periods, the urban structure, the richness and quality of Art Noveau architecture and the 19-th century wooden architecture of the city. Inscribing the historic centre of Riga on the World Heritage List of UNESCO recognized it. Riga belongs to the cultural space of Western Europe. Riga has hundreds of ways for enticing visitors – its rich history, architecture, spacious gardens and parks, museums, art galleries and world-class opera. Impossible not to be loved in Riga, because of its given inspiration to everyone – both for them which are delighted with ancient and which craves for new impressions. More information here and here. Jūrmala – city on the wave Jūrmala meaning "seaside" or "beach" in Latvian, is a city in Latvia, not far from Riga. Jūrmala is often called “Latvian Riviera” and is a resort town famous for its 33 km long sandy beach framed by dunes and pine forests. During the period when Latvia was part of the Soviet Union, it became a favourite holiday-resort and tourist destination for high-level Communist Party officials, particularly Brezhnev and Khrushchev. Although many amenities such as beach-houses and concrete hotels remain, some have fallen into disrepair. Jūrmala remains a tourist attraction with long beaches facing the Gulf of Riga and romantic wooden houses in the Art Nouveau style. More information here and here.

	House of Blackheads – The Melngalvju Originally built in 1344, this resurrected ghost is another reminder of Riga's still-healing historical scars. Ironically located in the Town Hall Square by the Museum of Occupations, the original House of Blackheads was destroyed during the war in 1941 and buried by the Soviets in 1948. It was rebuilt in 2001 with careful attention to its original structure and exterior ornamentation to commemorate the city's 800th anniversary. Originally owned by a merchant guild, in its current reincarnation the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.

Swedish Gate - Old City Walls The Old Town of Riga used to be surrounded by walls on all sides to keep all those pesky invaders out, but over the years most of its walls either crumbled or were destroyed by aforementioned invaders or were finally torn down in the 1800s. What survives is the Old City Walls and Swedish Gate (Vecpilsetas muris and Zviedru varti). The remains of the fortifications no longer fortify anything really, but the Swedish Gate, so named because it was built by ruling Swedes in 1698, is the only gate to the city still standing, and separates a quiet part of the Old Town from the noisy bars around it.
