http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31511 on almost every postcard from Riga. There is a Christmas tree made from pieces of mirror (because Riga is the birthplace of the tradition to decorate a tree on Christmas), Souvenier shop with a big black cat next to it called 'Riga Cat' and then there is cafe 'Egle' – open air leisure venue with live music every evening from 8PM. Traditional music, classical rock songs, jazz, popular Latvian rock and pop bands – all kinds of music.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31511 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31510 rock, jazz, sometimes country. And this is the place which with it’s music quite often makes people to move from their chairs and dance. Also the prices here are really reasonable.

It’s a perfect place for your evening – right in the heart not only of Riga, but also of the Old Town. For me this is the place to come at the end of working day, this is the place to meet friends and really forget all your problems.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31510 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31509 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31509 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11690 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11690 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11688 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11688 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5339
