Fozzie in Riga
June 2020 ![Latvia Latvia](https://fozzie-travels.com/wp-content/plugins/world-flag/assets/blank.gif)
Mid June was the first opportunity to travel again for most Europeans this year after weeks and months of travel restrictions. With limited flight options Fozzie chose to travel to a place where days are warm and long during summer. Plenty of sunlight and a lot of time to discover the city with its beautiful old town. What a good choice it was to go to Latvia, the Baltic state sandwiched between Estonia and Lithuania. Friendly people, good food and a lot of scenic places in its capital Riga. Fozzie in Riga.
- Before you start exploring a new city, look at things from above first. By the way: I was the only one up there.
- Some alleys are so narrow that even I have to lean in to get into the picture.
- These are the coats of arms of all municipalities in Latvia. 119 in total. I counted them all.
- In some parts of the old town it feels like you walk right into the Middle Ages again.
- Yeah, St. Peter’s Church’s tower looks exactly like in the ticket that I bought. Great views from up there.
- Mid June is the time of the white nights. It’s almost 11pm and still not dark.
- Lean right back and what you see is the Latvian National Library.
- Can you read the word? It’s literally: Fozzie in Riga
- Some advice from a frequent traveller:1. add some colour to your life 2. rather take the small alleys than the major streets
- A country so small, I can even hold it in one hand.
