As we’ve heard – Riga is the party Capital of The Baltic States. We know why. Silently and patiently going through the working week the city comes really alive on Thursday nights and goes this way till Sunday mornings. Clubs are open late and even after that you can always find a place to finish up your partying. Or continue.
From small basement bars teeming with young and artsy crowds to major dance floors of more mainstream music and people letting loose there will always be a place to find your type of party. All you have to do is go get in there.
