"The people can be a bit sour, but considering their history, I can't blame them. That said, the country itself with its nature and scenery should be promoted more by their government because it's really special," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Riga, Latvia.
"Expats in Riga appreciate the city's vibrant cultural scene, with its many museums, galleries, and theatres. They also enjoy the city's rich history, with its cobblestone streets, old churches, and historic buildings. The city's nightlife is also a draw, with its many bars, clubs, and restaurants. Expats also appreciate the friendly and welcoming nature of the locals, as well as the city's affordability and its excellent public transportation system," commented one expat who made the move to Riga, Latvia.
