Question of the week: Could you recommend a weekend break destination outside the UK? "Riga - if you can find a reasonably priced flight, the capital city of Latvia is experiencing a renaissance, not least because of its picturesque mix of German Art-Nouveau and European Gothic and its nightlife. The cultural centre is around the Freedom Monument, but do make an effort to explore the Old City and, if it is mild enough, canoe trips.
Cheap places to eat include:
Čili Pica, Several locations (One near the Freedom Monument, another on the ground floor of the Stockman mall near central station): Cheap but good pizza.
Ķīpsala Island Student Cafeteria: Home-style meals. offered in a cozy atmosphere.
Vermanitis, 65 Elizabetes St. A fantastic range of Latvian food in "authentic" environment."- Ric
