The Occupation Museum is a captivating collection of memorabilia depicting the struggle of Latvian independence. Displayed in an easy-to-absorb manner, you can stroll through and take in as much or as little as you can. To then walk around the old town of Riga and appreciate its beauty and modern cafe culture is a stark contrast to its history. It is a delight to see how Riga has progressed and you'll find it to be a hospitable, inspiring place to visit.
