Take a flight to discover Riga – the home of airBaltic. It is a city with charming Art Noveau buildings, historical 19th-century wooden architecture, cozy parks and a fancy restaurant scene. From luxury spa resorts to Opera and Ballet at the National Opera House, you will immerse yourself in the journey of exploration.

Renowned as the Amber City and the Paris of the North, Riga remains an ever-changing mystery. If you go to the heart of the Old Town, do not miss visiting the Monument of Freedom, Riga Town Hall Square and Alberta Street, where you will see the most beautiful pearls of Art Noveau style. Due to its location near the Baltic Sea, Riga also provides excellent leisure time at the sandy beach.
