Let’s explore the romantic spots in Riga that you absolutely must visit.
1. Stroll Along the Daugava Embankment 🌊
The Daugava Embankment is a place where you can enjoy breathtaking views of Riga’s historic domes and the calm waters of the river. In the evening, the embankment is softly lit by streetlights, creating a magical atmosphere. Even in winter, a walk here offers a unique sense of serenity. Dress warmly and bring a thermos with hot tea or coffee to keep yourself cozy.
For those who prefer enjoying the beauty of the city from the comfort of indoors, consider a river excursion on a closed boat, which sometimes runs even during the winter months.
2. Dinner With a View of the City 🍽️
A romantic dinner is the perfect way to end the day. At “Skyline Bar,” located on the 26th floor of the Radisson Blu Hotel Latvija, you can not only savor exquisite cuisine but also admire the breathtaking panorama of Riga at night. For a more intimate setting, we recommend “1221” restaurant in the Old Town. This spot is famous for its cozy interior and traditional Latvian dishes prepared with authentic recipes.
If you’re looking for something unique, consider “St. Petrus,” a restaurant in the heart of the Old Town offering fusion cuisine. The view of the Dome Cathedral and the cozy ambiance will add a touch of luxury to your evening. Be sure to try their tasting menu to appreciate the chef’s creativity.
3. Visit the Art Nouveau Museum 🏢
The Art Nouveau Museum, located at Alberta Street 12, is housed in one of the most beautiful buildings of this style. Inside, you’ll find elegant interiors, antique furniture, and the chance to learn more about life in the early 20th century. Don’t forget to climb the graceful spiral staircase, a masterpiece in itself. After the museum, stop by a nearby cafe to discuss what you’ve seen over a cup of aromatic coffee.
For a deeper immersion in the Art Nouveau era, take a walk along neighboring streets like Elizabetes and Vīlandes. Even in winter, the architecture of these streets is impressive, especially under a light blanket of snow. The snowy scenery makes them even more picturesque.
4. Stroll Along Alberta Street 🌐
Alberta Street is an open-air museum. Here you’ll find the most striking examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Riga, with each building featuring intricate details like reliefs, sculptures, and patterns. A stroll along this street will be not only romantic but also educational. Wrap up warmly to enjoy the sights even on a frosty day.
For those who want to learn more about the creators of these masterpieces, guided tours are available. Many guides share fascinating stories about the homeowners and architects who were inspired by nature, mythology, and modern technologies of their time. After your walk, visit “Art Cafe Sienna” to enjoy fresh pastries and a cozy atmosphere.
5. Canals and Vērmane Garden ❄️
Vērmane Garden is a green oasis in the heart of Riga. In winter, the park transforms into a magical place with twinkling lights and cozy paths. For active fun, head to a nearby park where an ice skating rink is set up for the season. After skating, visit the nearby “Kuuka” cafe and try their signature hot chocolate. It’s the perfect way to end your outing.
If you prefer a more relaxed activity, take a walk along the snow-covered alleys of Vērmane Garden. The light snowfall and soft glow of lanterns create an incredibly romantic atmosphere, perfect for winter photographs.
