More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A Cessna lifts off and the city of Riga unfurls beneath you — the Daugava River slicing through red-tiled roofs, parks and bridges shrinking into a patterned grid. From the small window the skyline becomes a study in contrast: art nouveau façades give way to baroque spires and then to patchwork fields that carry the eye toward Sigulda’s forested hills and Rundāle Palace’s formal gardens.
