Once and for all you have a chance to check out one of those crazy-cool theaters you've seen in crazy-cool movies. Even if the play you choose would be in Latvian, it would still give you enough impression not to regret you went to check it out. And you can even leave your ties and evening gowns home.

Beach volleyball, beach football and other outdoor activities are available here and it is just 5-10 minutes walking from the Old Town. Nice view towards rest of the city and it is located on Kipsala island, which can be a point of interest itself as well because of old wooden houses and cobbled roads.
