The capital of Latvia - Riga has always been one of the most famous and popular tourist cities in the entire Baltic region. Riga, perhaps, has managed best of all to preserve the spirit of medieval Europe, despite the fact that this city may well be called a metropolis. As for entertainment, there are just a lot of them here. Numerous recreation parks, shopping and entertainment centers, playgrounds, water parks and attractions in Riga lure tourists, and any attempt to compile a clear list of the best places to visit is doomed to failure. After all, there is a possibility that there is simply not enough space to list all the interesting places.

In addition, theatrical performances, games, contests and other entertainment events are regularly held here. Open all year round, admission is free.
Adventure Park "Forest Cat"
A giant rope town, consisting of many trails of the most varied levels of difficulty. Initially, it was a training complex for physically strong people who are professionally fond of tourism and rock climbing, however, due to its popularity, this place was very quickly adapted to the needs of the general public.
