Meet Riga

Why Choose Our Destination?

Riga is the capital city of Latvia. We have the wide range of venues, convenient transport connections and knowledge pool you need to host your next event. And here’s what we think makes Riga a stand-out choice. Truly Creative And Agile Suppliers With just under two million inhabitants in Latvia, we’re a small and intertwined network. In other words, everyone knows everyone. Together we work fast to bring even the most “out there” ideas to life. A floating restaurant? Coffee breaks in a glass cabin hung above a fast-moving river? Our suppliers have made it happen, will do it again, and aim even higher. They pride themselves on delivering tailor-made boutique concepts and out-of-the-box creative solutions. Nature - An Intrinsic Part Of Any Event Conference room with a view of the Baltic Sea? Teambuilding trek in a bog? Moonlit gala in the woods? Any event in Latvia will have some connection to the outdoors. Latvians remain in close contact with Mother Nature. Foraging, wild camping, and hiking are popular pastimes. Nature just finds its way into our daily lives and event programs. We won’t insist on taking you into the wild, but we’d love to at least treat you to a dinner of seasonal, local produce. Chanterelles, venison, catfish… Accompanied by a glass of sparkling birch sap or rhubarb wine. Any Visit To Latvia Is An Interactive History Lesson Hold your meeting at a rural farm with contemporary amenities. Host your party in an 18th-century palace. Have a team dinner of typical Soviet food in an underground bunker. Latvia has done well to protect its many layers of history and introduce visitors to its story through interactive experiences. Every Day Is A Celebration Of Culture A nation of people who still sing and dance at birthdays and anniversaries. The cradle of opera singers Elīna Garanča, Marina Rebeka, and Inese Galante, conductor Mariss Jansons and diplomat Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga. Today, Latvia is a contemporary arts hub with an agenda full of events including the Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art, Cesis Art Festival, and Riga International Film Festival. Our suppliers will ensure your event’s social program is original, memorable, and potentially hands-on. Internet Access Is A Given And The Latest Tech Readily Available Latvia has both the infrastructure and talent pool to handle complex contemporary tech requirements and host hybrid events. The local startup ecosystem is booming with success stories including Infogram, Printful, and Aerones. Excellent Options For Bleisure Travel, Pre And Post Tours Of The Baltics Even just two to three extra days are enough to get better acquainted with Riga and take a day trip to the coast, a national park, or historical town. No point in Latvia is further than four hours away from Riga. Tallinn and Vilnius are also just four hours away, making it easy to organize pre or post tours of all three Baltic States. Spa centres converted manors, and cosy guest houses await visitors looking to recharge before returning to work.
