Rīga has an enchanting medieval Old Town and the greatest concentration of 19th and 20th century Art Nouveau architecture in Europe. However, Riga is not just history, old buildings and museums. You will also find it to be a vibrant modern city with a rich cultural life. Riga’s International Airport, only minutes from the centre, is one of the fastest growing travel hubs in Europe, providing cheap and easy access to any country in Europe.

Choosing Riga for your studies will be the beginning of an inspiring experience, as you will get to know a different culture, new traditions and above all – new people. Latvians may seem reserved at first, but are friendly and sincere once you get to know them. A local joke goes that if you put two Latvians together, you will get three political parties. Put three Latvians together and you will have a choir (note that Latvia is “The Land that Sings!”). Put four Latvians together and you will have a dinner feast. In short – Latvians enjoy hearty discussions, a great get-together and a good meal.
