Whilst Riga isn't the most obvious destination for a city break, if you visiting the Baltic countries - it's worth checking out for sure.
Let me know what other city guides you'd like to see next? 👇
I'm definitely going after seeing this video
Hello Ninh! I can agree that Riga is a very nice place! As a Latvian native, I can address a few things. 1. The reason why Riga is under so much construction is because of the ongoing Rail Baltica project, which is meant to integrate the Baltics in the European rail network. 2. Finding free public toilets is a real problem, unfortunately. 3. The price of food and drink in Riga is kind of inflated, but outside of Riga or any of the major Latvian cities, the prices are cheaper. 4. If I had recommend other Latvian cities or towns to visit, I would recommend for example Cesis, which is considered the birthplace of the Latvian flag, Kuldiga, home of the widest waterfall in Europe: the Venta Rapid, Jurmala, Latvia’s most popular resort city, Sigulda, known for it’s famous bobsled track and cable car, which goes over the Gauja River, Ventspils, which has a lot of cows around the city (not real cows, of course) and Liepaja, the music capital of Latvia.
😀Thanks again for your comments.
1) Ah, that does explain it. I did wonder why there was so much of it going on at the same time?
2) It was a little surprise to find that there are no free toilets in places where there usually are.
3) I did find that food was inflated in restaurants and stuff like that, but small shops and supermarkets were no different to anywhere else in Europe.
4) That's good to know - I'd love to come back and explore more of your country!
there are some free public bathrooms in some rīga supermarkets or shopping centers, you gotta know the locations to stay safe. at least i know that there are free ones in two gallery shopping centers. there are some in the parks as well but im not sure if they are cleaned as often as the shopping center ones and there are more options in shopping centers if one or two happen to be dirty
Going to visit Riga in a few weeks. This video was very informative. Thank you so much. Cheers.
Fantastic - I hope you have the most amazing time in Riga. Enjoy!
What a great way to show and present a city. Nice atmosphere in the video, to the point and overall informative. Not like a lot of other channels that film themselves 80% of the video instead of showing and explaining the actual attractions! Subscribed 😊
Thank you very much! 🙂
Yes, my travel guides are to the point, helpful and geared towards helping a traveller navigate a new city or experience.
Sadly too many CZcams travel videos are vloggers showing mainly themselves, people who make 'travel guides' that have clearly never been there, or AI generated robo-rubbish.
I'm glad I'm not one of the above.
Thanks for subscribing also!
Riga, the one of the most underrated city in Europe.
I totally agree!
Well, Riga is now in my bucket list. Thanks, Ninh!
You're welcome! If you're coming to Riga, also check out my video on Tallinn - you'll love that place just as much 🙂
Excellent video ❤
Thanks for your kind comments.
Best travel guide channel ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate that, thanks very much!
Bloody love your videos! Always give me inspiration because you make everything so clear and have done the hard research for us! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yes, I find that the hardest part of travelling is not knowing what to expect and the stress of figuring out how to get around. I try and make these videos to eliminate those two problems.
Happy this inspires you to visit for yourself!
I always check your guide before visiting new cities. Keep up that great work
Thanks very much, I appreciate you checking out my channel when you're travelling!
Nice work Ultimate Bucket List.
Thank you!
Great video Ninh, fantastic video as always.
Thank you Jason! I seem to be travelling fast than I can make these videos, so it might be a while before you see the next one 😉
Going in June. Thanks for this. Always enjoy your videos
Thanks very much!
Ah, that's a good job I uploaded it now, eh?
Very informative and engaging. Thanks!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this video!
riga looks incredible to vist
Whilst it's probably not the most obvious city destination, it's still a pretty charming place to visit.
I'd recommend visiting this, Tallinn and Vilnius in one trip for sure.
So glad you made this video. I am headed to Riga in July as part of my remote work trip to the Baltics. Thanks!
Cool, hope this video helps?
Admittedly, you'll probably see most of what Riga has to offer in about two days.
Still nice though.
Thank you for this video🙏
You're welcome, I hope you enjoyed this video 🙂
WOW WOW WOW !!!
Thank you :)
Wow is right
Interesting video. Thank you. I watched you since visiting Celtic Park in Rangers kit. 😂😂😂
Thanks very much - the Celtic/Rangers video seems like 10 years ago, now?!
@@UltimateBucketList I watched your stadium tour videos. It was interesting. Just keep like this. Nice to see you back. Take care!
Great video, as usual. Well done. I loved a cheeky visit to Aberdeen last year. Don't know if you've alreay done a video on that. Was good. Aberdeen Old Town with the cathedral, and King's College, and old bridge was a surprise. It's a great UK city break.
Thanks! Believe it or not, whilst I've driven around Scotland many times before - Aberdeen is a city I've never been to.
I'll probably go at some point - most likely if I'm doing a tour of the NC500.
Very good video
Thank you very much! Please share this video on your social media, and if you are coming to Riga - I hope you have an amazing time! 🙂
Awesome video, thank you! Does the bus ticket you bought at the airport also work in the tram, or is it required to buy new tickets?
Hi, yes the tram is also covered with the ticket.
Hope you enjoy Riga!
Great video! Would you prefer Tallinn or Riga?
Thanks! I prefer Tallinn for sure, it's a lot easier to navigate, the people are friendlier, it's cheaper and there's more things to do. Riga wasn't bad at all, but out of the two - I'd love to visit Tallinn again.
I laughed hard when you recommended not staying in Pārdaugava (across the river from the old town). Because even though I think Pārdaugava has a lot of interesting stuff to see, it pales in comparison to what's in the old town and I really don't mind keeping the tourists out of the spots my friends hang around in
I only say that because that's where I stayed.
It's nice, but very little to do compared to the old town.
Video suggestions you should go to balmoral castle in Scotland
Yes indeed - I've been planning to go there every summer for the last 3 years but something seems to always get in the way.
Never heard of this place, but it looks interesting
It's an interesting place for sure, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip to see Riga.
If you tie it in with a trip to Tallinn and Helsinki, it's totally worth it. :)
You do a wonderful job on these Ninh.GGMU
Thank you kind sir!
Buenos días desde Valencia. España
this video brings back memories of my past..haha..I hope I can visit Rīga again... beautiful memories of being there in the winter.. btw, did you visit the Three Brothers Building? 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Thanks! I believe I walked past them, but they weren't open? I hope you make it back to Riga soon!
Hey ninh will you ever come back to scotland for a BT murrayfeild tour, I have one for September
I'm sure I will at some point, either if work takes me there or I go and finally do the NC500 (which I've been wanting to do for years). It's on the list, for sure!
Even better, please don't wear an England shirt as it will just spoil it haha, but the nc500 is lovely I'm from the highla ds so aye definitely worth doing, but so is the North east coastal trail got peterhead prison museum
Have you visited Riga just 2 weeks back ? How is the westher there. I am planning to visit in April
The weather is pleasant in April, not too hot, not too cold. You might get some rain, but it's an easy city to walk around, so it shouldn't matter if it does. Be sure to share this video if you found it helpful. Hope you enjoy Riga! 🙂
Can you please make a video on Athens?
Yes absolutely. I'm scheduled to go this year so will hopefully make a video about it soon.
Do you mind sharing what equipment you used to make this excellent video?
My equipment that I used at the that time includes:
Cellphone Camera: Samsung Galaxy Ultra S22 Ultra
Main Camera: Sony A7R III
Drone: DJI Air 2S
However, I've upgraded all my equipment recently.
@@UltimateBucketList
Thanks a lot
Hello Ninh. Could you go back to turf moor to do a stadium tour as I hear it comes highly reccomended and you should check out the newly renovated jimmy mcilroy suite
You keep asking me that - and believe it or not, you're the only person to actually want a Turf Moor stadium tour.
@@UltimateBucketList so will you do it? 😂
Beautiful tour around Riga 😊
Thanks very much!
What's the weather like in Riga in April and May ? Thanks
Very pleasant actually.🙂
It's a lot warmer in May than April, so if you have a choice - go in May!
@@UltimateBucketList thanks 👍
Very well edited Vlog.. great information
Thank you very much!
Are you going to Make a sports ruls video
Eventually I'll get back to that channel, yes.
Will you visit my hometown Ninh, Hong Kong??
Absolutely! I'm looking to go towards the end of the year.
And I'll probably visit Macau whilst I'm there.
3rd
Yes.
Do they change the king's guard every year
I'm not sure?
Leeds United3v Southampton1 championship play off final
Strange thing to be commenting on a video about Riga.
@@UltimateBucketList that's football fandom for you, mate. None of it makes sense.
