Riga City Camping

Alan Rogers Review of Riga City Camping

The old town of Riga is certainly well worth a visit and this new site provides the opportunity. Based on a small island in the Daugava River in a mixed urban area, this small site provides 100 touring pitches; all with electricity connections. Much of the old town has been rebuilt since the war and the informative and perhaps disturbing Museum of Occupation near the Town Hall is worth visiting as is the Art-Nouveau architecture of Riga’s residential area. The market, which occupies the former Zeppelin hangers, should also be seen. Latvia’s answer to fast food is also an essential part of your visit – ‘pelmeni’ (meat dumplings fried, boiled or swimming in soup) and pancakes are cheap, filling and tasty and are served throughout the town.
