Bad reviews aside, just come! It's so much fun, so beautiful.

First of all, thank you for watching. Next, I'll share my Riga travel guide. I hope my sharing will be helpful to everyone. 🥰Today, I'm recommending a little-known, mysterious European city—Riga! This place, filled with medieval charm, has magical buildings🧙‍♀️ and captivating streets that make you feel like you're in a fairy tale, as if you've traveled into the world of Miyazaki's anime *Kiki's Delivery Service*! 📍Riga, Latvia 📖A little bit of background information: Riga is the capital of Latvia, located on the coast of the Baltic Sea🌊. Its old town is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting numerous medieval buildings and unique Art Nouveau architecture. It's a place full of stories and history❗ Walking through the streets of Riga, you'll feel as if time has stood still, and every corner resembles the streets Kiki flew through. 🇱🇻Tips for visiting: 🎭Riga Old Town (Vecrīga) Riga's Old Town preserves a large number of medieval buildings, with winding cobblestone streets and ancient church spires. At dusk, the red roofs glow in the sunset's afterglow🌇, as beautiful as a painting! Walking on these streets, will it remind you of Kiki flying on her broom🧹? 🎭Art Nouveau District This is one of the areas with the highest concentration of Art Nouveau buildings in the world, each with unique decorations and carvings. Bring your camera, and every shot will be a masterpiece📸, as if you're in a city full of magic and adventure. 🎭St. Peter's Church Want a panoramic view of Riga? Then you must visit the tower of St. Peter's Church⛪! Here you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city, perfect for taking photos. 🎭Riga Central Market This is one of the largest markets in Europe, where you can find all kinds of local delicacies🍝 and handicrafts. Shuttle among the dazzling stalls and experience authentic local life. You might feel like Kiki searching for new and exciting adventures~ ❤️(ps: The actual filming location of the original movie is in Stockholm and Visby. This post is just a recommendation because it feels very similar. Please visit rationally.) Finally, I wish you all a wonderful time in Riga🥳🥳🥳
