Christmas and winter in Riga
Riga claims the world's first decorated Christmas tree, set on Town Hall Square in 1510, and the city still does winter beautifully. The Christmas market on Cathedral Square, the New Year fireworks over the Daugava and the quiet, snow-covered Old Town make the cold months one of the best times to visit.
These guides cover the Christmas market, how Latvians see in the New Year, and why the off-season is often the most rewarding time to be here.
