    Yes. Латвия вызывает интерес не только как страна бывшая республикой советского союза. Удивительное преобразование за столь короткий период времени. В том числе и в плане ценностей. Хотел уточнить еще одну вещь -может к то в курсе. Слухи-то слухами. Unless someone knows the answer for sure, is it true that in Riga public transport free of charge for all categories including tourists from neighboring countries?
