Description: Riga is the capital of Latvia and is home to a third of Latvia's population. The city lies on the Gulf of Riga at the mouth of the Daugava river where it meets the Baltic Sea. Riga was founded in 1201 and is a former Hanseatic League member. Riga's historical centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, noted for its Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture and 19th century wooden buildings. We visited Latvia on our overland trip by car (a Toyota LandCruiser 4WD campervan) from the Netherlands to the Nordic countries in Europe; see our channel youtube.com/user/JanvanBekkum for hundreds of clips.
