We arrived in Riga at 11.30am (10.30am Stockholm time) and the weather not really good. It was raining and cold..huuu.
This is our cruise.. A little big smaller compared the one that we took to Tallinn.
Riga sight seeing bus.. I don't know why all sight seeing bus that I saw in Barcelona, Tallinn, Helsinki, London were in red. We didn't take the bus because Riga is a small city. We can just walk around the city in a day. But if you want to go to shopping, you might need to take a tram or bus to the shopping mall.
These is the 'Three Brothers'. This building were an example of Medieval residential structures in Riga. The facades and interiors provide a textbook examples of the development of architecture over the course of time.
The powder tower or initially known as the Sand Tower is one of the towers which helped to form the formerly walled city's fortifications. The gunpowder was stored in the tower.
Riga's Old Castle. Looks really old..
I don't know the name of these wall. But I think it is really unique with the signs stamp on it's wall.
Hehehehe.. this is near to the Riga University. My husband and Ekin tried to copy the monumen beside them :P
Riga University
Giant pumpkins..hehehe. On the cruise, on of the crew told my husband to go to Riga Fresh Market if we have time. So we decided why not?? The market was really clean. It's divided into 3 area/building. One for fish or seafood. One for chicken or meat. And another one for vegetables.
They sell fresh fish which you couldn't find in Stockholm as far what I know.
Giant tomatoes..heheheee
