Rīga
The biggest city in the Baltic states
The Latvian capital city Riga is a modern city located on the coast of the Baltic Sea with a rich history. It is a city abundant in events situated on the banks of Latvia’s largest river, the Daugava.
Riga is rich in water resources. Within its territory and vicinity, there are several lakes and rivers connected to the sea, including Jugla Lake, Lielais Baltezers, Mazais Baltezers, Ķīšezers, Daugava, Buļļupe, and Lielupe. These bodies of water, thanks to their connection to the Baltic Sea, are rich in fish. This is particularly true for predatory fish such as pike, zander, and perch.
