Riga: a closer sense of place

Riga River Daugava gives Riga a distinctive reference point, inviting a closer look at how this place fits into the surrounding city. earthTV’s perspectives on Riga keep that local connection in view while leaving room to discover the streets, buildings and landscape around it.

Following the local character of Riga

The value of Riga River Daugava as a starting point lies in its specificity. It gives the city a place to locate on the map and a subject to understand in context. From there, attention can move outward to the surrounding district and to the way Riga is organised around its public spaces, routes and local geography.

Riga Livu Square offers another named point of interest within the same destination. This way of exploring Riga leaves room for different interests. Architecture may be the first connection, or the surrounding landscape may be more compelling. Following one specific place into its context can make the destination easier to recognise and more rewarding to understand.
