In Riga, first of all, you need to see the wonderful Old Town, which, according to many tourists, reminds Prague, but it has its own bright personality. Here is the famous Dome Cathedral, where on Sundays you can listen to organ music, the Court of the Convent, the remains of the castle of Swordsmen, the Riga Castle, the Powder Tower, barracks and much more.

There you can see the buildings of the Sejm, the Small Guild, a group of 3 houses from the Middle Ages called "Three Brothers", a house with cats (it is decorated with figurines of these animals) and others.
