About Riga for Solo Travelers
The Art Nouveau capital of the Baltic — Riga's extraordinary Jugendstil architecture, Europe's largest indoor market, and compact medieval old town make it one of the Baltics' most rewarding solo cities.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Riga has the world's largest collection of Art Nouveau architecture and is very solo-friendly — the Central Market (Europe's largest covered market, in converted Zeppelin hangars) is extraordinary, the Art Nouveau district walk is self-guided and superb, and the Old Town is compact and safe. The Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum outside the city is an outstanding solo half-day. Very affordable by Northern European standards.

Jūrmala Beach Day Trip
Nature
Europe's most elegant seaside resort — 25km of white sand Baltic beach 25 minutes by train from Riga, lined with 19th-century wooden villas of the Russian imperial aristocracy. Jūrmala's amber-rich shore, pine forests, and extraordinary wooden architecture make it one of the great Baltic day trips.
