Information about
the City of Riga
Geographical location
Riga, the Capital
of Latvia, the central and largest city of the
Baltic
States is located on the
southern shores of the Baltic
Sea at the mouth of the
Daugava
River. The city's
crossroads location between Western
Europe and huge Eastern
markets is one of Riga's
attractions for business activities. This favourable location and
membership in the Hanseatic
League of northern cities has
promoted the rapid development of the city since its founding in
1201.
