    Play football in Latvia

    Posted by BalticExpert 16 July 2007

    Expats and tourists have the opportunity to play football for a team in Latvia's top amateur league!

    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.

    Sigulda bobsleigh track

    Posted by riga 2 August 2006

    The Latvians call Sigulda the Switzerland of Latvia, which is a slight exaggeration although it is very beautiful and well worth visiting in summer or winter.
    The bobsleigh track is Olympic standard and is worth a trip just to see it. Much better though is to go on a Saturday and actually go down the track. In summer they have a wheeled bobsleigh with a driver, and in winter they have a padded one (for visitors!) which goes on the ice.
    Brilliant!

    About one hours drive from Riga - get on to Brivibas and just follow the road.
    Also, there is a train direct from Riga.
    The bobsleigh track is walking distance from the station and well signposted.
