Panache Hidden Gems of Riga

"OVERVIEW OF RIGA'S HISTORY

Riga, the capital of Latvia, boasts a rich and complex history that has shaped its unique character and charm. Founded in 1201 by Bishop Albert of Buxhoeveden, Riga emerged as a key trading hub in the Baltic region. Its strategic location along the Daugava River allowed it to flourish as a center for commerce, attracting merchants from across Europe. The city quickly became a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful alliance of trading cities that dominated trade in Northern Europe during the late Middle Ages. This connection not only enriched Riga economically but also infused the city with diverse cultural influences that are still evident today."
