Berg Bazaar was Riga’s answer to the big trading arcades of Europe. Originally a high society living and shopping area, it still carries a bit of that vibe. Quiet place with great, reasonably priced restaurants, Latvian fashion, design and bakeries. Also an eco food market!

“The Last Bastion of Riga” was assembled from the remains of the older ramparts taken down in the 1860’s. Rumour has it they built it on top of a landfill to rid the city of its smell. Pretty smart. Today it’s a completely non-trashy romantic lookout. Expect to see lots of sledges during the winter.

There aren't many places with panoramic view in Riga. Terrace Riga, located in Galleria Riga shopping centre, is one of few and you can enjoy a 360° panorama there. The cafes and bars here are quite touristic and Russian-oriented, but the good thing is that the roof is public and you can just visit it to take some pictures!

The former Andrew Harbour used to be an open space teeming with artists, performances and studies, but has since been privatized. You can still find the odd survivor (like freak bike constructors and a floating concert hall) and sip beer on the wharfs.
