Riga, the capital of Latvia, is a city that never sleeps. Intense social and artistic life has a very long tradition here. Napoleon Bonaparte called Riga the "suburb of London", wanting to emphasize its metropolitan, international character. In the interwar period it was called "Paris of the north" because of the cultural life flourishing here and accompanying entertainment. Today Riga is also one of the favorite destinations for young Europeans who want to experience a crazy weekend. Next to Cracow, it is the city most visited by young Britons, which attracts tourist with attractions, a wide range of dining and entertainment venues and low prices.
