City break holiday offers in Riga
The Baltic Travel Company is offering short breaks to Riga with a choice of top hotels. Short breaks in Riga are an ideal way to spend a weekend away.
Riga is served by direct flights from the UK. The flight takes about two and a half hours. Riga has a wide range of hotels, restaurants and entertainment to choose from, so you can be assured that there is something for everyone.
Riga is an ideal city break destination. With its 800,000 inhabitants, it is the largest and most exciting of the Baltic cities. It boasts a remarkable legacy of Gothic, Baroque and Classical architecture, not to mention the biggest collection of Art Nouveau or 'Jugendstil' architecture in the world.
The old town, dating back to 1201, has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its narrow, cobblestone streets wind through beautifully restored buildings and historic passageways within the fortress walls.
The Old Town is small enough to enjoy on foot (cars are not allowed), but if you do get lost, you can always get your bearings from the many unique church steeples that tower above the city.
Riga City Break Packages include:
* Direct flights from London, Liverpool and Glasgow (we can arrange connecting flights from other airports upon request).
* Private transfers to and from airport to hotel (the airport is 15 minutes from Riga)
* Hotel accommodation
* Breakfast
* All taxes
Rather than providing an exhaustive list of all Riga hotels, The Baltic Travel Company have selected a list of recommended hotels as a guide for you. They can also tailor a package to suit your special interests or requirements. Details on 0845 6800 642 or http://www.baltictravelcompany.com
