Welcome to Riga's holiday guide! Our handbook provides a complete overview of winter holiday activities in Latvia's capital. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor to the city, you'll find all the necessary information about festive events here.
Dome Square and Livu Square become home to traditional Christmas markets where you can enjoy mulled wine and local delicacies.
