Start with coffee and a pastry at Miit Coffee. It is a quiet café near Esplanade Park, perfect for settling in before the rush. Try the pancake brunch if it is the weekend.
15:45
Walk four minutes to Skyline Bar. Find a table near the windows. The description notes that finding a window seat is difficult after 23:00, but at this hour it is easy. Enjoy the drink and watch the light change.
16:15
Head to the Riga TV Tower observation deck. The sun sets toward the SW, offering a clear view from this vantage point. The tower stands 368 meters high, providing a panoramic perspective of the city as the golden light fades.

End the night at Cuba Cafe. This cozy bar features DJs in the evenings and salsa dancing on Tuesdays. It is a lively spot to continue the evening after the quiet of the tower.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the SW on this date. Ensure you have a window seat at Skyline Bar early to catch the golden light before it hits the tower.
