Makonkalns Hill and Volkenberg Castle Ruins

Reviewed By UldisV - Jurmala, Latvia

I will donate to research this place. It is maybe most mysterious ruins in Latvia. Some people believe that majestic ruins of almost megalithic wall (in case of lack of stones at all) is oldest in Latvia. Placed in very remote point, hard to access (You must climb ~100 meters long timber stairs) in general ignored by researchers, this palace is hidden gem of Latvia. Top of hill (yard of castle) allow to observe great distance around with gorgeous views. It once was very popular place for couples, because people believe that presence in ruins in some way strengthen relationships.

Reviewed By Azalee99 - Vienna, Austria

interesting modern sculpture, but you need a little background in Latvian poetry to appreciate the point. next to the beach, and surrounded by a little wall you can sit on and have a snack while contemplating how times change.

Berga Bazars (the Bergs Bazaar)

Originally constructed between 1887–1900, the maze-like pedestrian quarter known as the Bergs Bazaar is a stylish oasis in the heart of Riga.

We came across Berga Bazars while walking Elizabetes street towards the clock tower near train station. Got attracted by the title suggesting bazaar. After entering into the passage we discovered quite wide spread inner area, with cozy places both inside and outside, several small corridors. Perfect to calm down after long walk or even short work. Next time worth for targetted visit.
