ANOTHER TRAVEL GUIDE RĪGA
The first thing today’s demanding traveller seeks is a good friend who lives in the city he or she wants to explore – someone to reveal things that aren’t normally included in traditional tourist guidebooks. You need those who know a city intimately to show you their favourite neighbourhoods, streets, buildings, museums, bars, restaurants, stores, historic sites and places with unusual or panoramic views. Another Travel Guide Rīga is the key to Latvia’s capital. It presents a true insider’s Riga as experienced by artists, architects, entrepreneurs, journalists, photographers and other impromptu tour guides who love their city and will happily share its secrets with you. Discover Rīga in all its diversity – from its classic attractions to the lesser-known gems on its outskirts and the well-hidden spots only those in the know can show you.
Another Travel Guide Rīga takes a creatively visual approach that’s radically different from that of typical travel guides. The photographs – commissioned especially for the travel guide – capture the unique essence of each location or object listed, offering a glimpse of the experiences and sensations that make a visit to Rīga unforgettable. The guide includes detailed maps of the city and its environs and tear-off picture postcards.

The compilers of the travel guide aim to make the book permanently available to the visitors of Riga, regularly updating the content to feature the latest developments. August 2010 saw the publication of Another Travel Guide РИГА / Независимый путеводитель, the Russian-language version of Another Travel Guide Rīga, encouraging Russian-speaking travellers make Riga their destination more often.
