Despite a very long winter, warm weather has finally reached Riga and not a moment too soon. We just love this time of year when Latvians emerge from their winter cocoons and try their best to be optimistic about a future that might include sunny days spent on nearby beaches. But until the Baltic Sea warms up to an acceptable degree of frigidness, most Rigans are content to soak up precious rays of sunshine with a tasty local brew on a medieval square surrounded by stunning architecture. If, however, you’re keen on doing some exploring then by all means read our features about the two Latvian cities of Jūrmala and Liepāja that are both located by the sea, but couldn’t be more different from one another in both atmosphere and attitude. You’ll also find hundreds of independent reviews of restaurants, bars, clubs, sights and shops as well as plenty of useful information and tips that will make your stay in Riga that much better, so do as the locals do and enjoy the first manifestations of summer with Riga In Your Pocket.
