A third of buildings in the centre of Riga were built in this style. These date between 1896 and 1913, with the most striking examples being found around Albert St. If you’re in Riga, we really recommend you take in some of this stunning architecture.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16405 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14954 Travel company Riga Out There have just launched this exciting activity as part of their new 'unusual things to do in Latvia campaign'.

Once each film group has made its film, it is given the opportunity to present their film at one of Riga’s leading cinemas with critical feedback given by one of Latvia’s top film directors.


You do not need to have any film background - just turn up in Riga with a group of friends and start dreaming of film stardom!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14954 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14953 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14953 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14351 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14351 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14242
I first heard about the tour in a story I read in easyJet's in-flight magazine about a crazy underground nuclear bunker in Latvia's countryside.

The bunker is in the middle of nowhere and is absolutely the most strange place I've ever been to. Plan to go back and do it again in the winter for the full-on Soviet winter vibe.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14242 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14059
dADa also has a wonderful selection of drinks. A good place to go before a night on the town and then return the next day to cure the hangover!

I absolutely love this place.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14059 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13709

It is possible to play against or for league team Riga United.

If you are planning to move to Latvia to live and work, then you can join a Riga United training session and, who knows, you might be turning out for the red and white of United!

Alternatively, if you are interested in playing Riga United FC while on your holiday, then you just need to contact the club through their sponsor's website.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13560 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13540 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13540 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13434 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13434 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13360

There are a lot of stag groups but thankfully more and more 'civilised' people are also coming and discovering more than just bars and girls. A good all-round guide that I've found helpful in the past is www.riga-life.com. And the sites I'd recommend especially in Riga are Jurmala, Dome Cathedral and Academy of Science.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11160 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9678 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9678
