The inner city of Riga in Latvia is anyway, but also in the whole Baltic countries, a gem. It is due to its jugendstil buildings part of the UNESCO world heritage. Many houses with very precious carvings and ornaments. The dome from the 12th century is noticeable which indeed has experienced many alterations and extensions.
Riga does not impress exclusively by its beautiful architecture. No, despite the buzzling life of a metropolis which naturally dominates in the capital city of Latvia many oases of tranquility have been developed. Even directly in the inner-city there are several lavishly designed parks, it is also possible to relax superbly in a zoo with more than 3,000 animals.
