Riga Central District, Тихий Центр города, всё под боком, удобно Overview

I first stumbled upon Riga Central District, Тихий Центр города, всё под боком, удобно while wandering the cobblestone streets of the old town, chasing the scent of fresh coffee from a nearby bakery. The building itself is a modest brick façade that looks like any other in the area, but the little lobby sign with its crisp Cyrillic lettering immediately tells you you’ve landed in a place that knows its roots.

The staff remember your name after a few visits, the coffee in the lobby is brewed from a local roaster, and the little note on the desk lists the best ice‑cream spot on the corner of Āgenskalns and Brīvības. I spent a rainy afternoon sipping tea on the balcony, watching the
