What I Did in RIGA IN 24 HOURS
Join me as we discover the amazing city of Riga.
We set off from the city centre and made our way to the enchanting old town of Riga.
On the way, we strolled along the famous Art Nouveau District, met the locals and explored the beauty the city has to offer.
Riga's old town is a real fairytale; we discover why the city was a popular movie set during the Soviet era.
No city experience would be complete without visiting a local market and today we visited two. The Riga Central Market and the Agenskalns Market where we had an amazing food experience.
We end our day indulging in local delicacies and top it off with an amazing folk experience at the famous Folksclubs Ala.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we discover the amazing city of Riga in 24 hours.

20:45 😂 It’s never boring in Riga. I like how you communicated in mashup of different languages as if it’s completely normal. 😂 Quince lemonade is very nice. We used to grow quince and make the syrup ourselves. It’s very popular. And Tarhūns - taste of my childhood. I think I haven’t drunk it since I was 12 or something like that. I really need to go and visit these places once I’m back in Riga!

Yep,. My visit to the Corner House during the winter time left chills up my spine. It is a good thing they left the paint in the corridors peeling and in derelict state from the Soviet era; it elevates level to the next step the trauma of just to be there. But by the same token, it would be inappropriate to sweep the history of the place under a carpet. Additionally, at the time of my visit, the rear courtyard was frozen over with ice. It was dangerous to try to walk down the concrete steps to get a closer look at the courtyard itself.

@ArjenDijksman Ай бұрын

Hi Justin, your video came one day too late. I took Luxexpress today, Vilnius to Tallinn with my wife. We had a 30 min stop in Riga, just enough time to buy some shprot at the market, and continue our route. I hope I can make it another time to Riga. Nice to watch your videos, always!

Glad I met you the other night, thanks again for making great content. Hope you had a fun night out. I got stung by the taxi at the airport once. I flew in late at night, bolts kept cancelling on me for a half an hour, they didn't want to drive out of town, and no bus, I asked about the taxi, they said the same thing 20-25 euro and it was only about 7 or 8 euro more than bolt quoted me..... So I took a taxi to the quiet center.... they tried to charge me 80 euro for a 15 minute drive.
