Skyline Bar is a cocktail lounge in the sky. Not many people know this place as it is situated inside Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija (26th floor). Also drinks are quite expensive but worth the price considering the view.
Depending on the day and time of visit, there are entrance charges from 3 to 5 EUR

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 stairways, wrapped in fantastic paintings, lead to studies once inhabited by famous Latvian writers and artists. Breathtaking exhibits take you back a hundred years. Full of exhibits but do not rush as the museum is quite small.

This is perhaps the only classical styled movie theatre in the Baltic states. Great international films are shown here on a regular basis as well as during festivals. A great place to sit back and let the films do the work.

The location is very close to Old Town, you just need to cross the Akmens (Stone) Bridge and turn to the right. They have a small cafe where you can have a cup of coffee or glass of local beer, sit by the riverside and enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and one of the best views of Riga and its famous church spires.

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 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.
