Riga is the capital of Latvia and presents experiences for every taste in art, music, theatre or design and
a broad range of cultural activities all year around. A must-see is the small but professionally managed zoological park, which has become a favourite place for family visits and plays a notable role in international research and the preservation of various endangered species.
