The streets of Riga Old Town tighten as dusk falls: cobbles cool underfoot, painted facades dim into pools of light, and the Daugava’s draft nudges through narrow alleys as if urging you onward. A local guide slips into the rhythm of the night—leading a small group from a warm beer bar to a live-music room, ending beneath club lights that keep going until dawn.
