Riga is a city that has it all.

Start your day in the charming old town,

a UNESCO World Heritage site

where Art Nouveau buildings rubbed shoulders with ancient landmarks.

From there, stop at the vast central market to stock up on local delicacies, before heading to the

pristine white sands of Vitsaki Beach. Fly with British airways and discover Latvia's lively

capital for yourself. To start planning your trip, visit BA.com forward slash Riga.
