Riga District (Latvian: Rīgas rajons) was an administrative division of Latvia, located in Semigallia and Vidzeme regions, in the centre of the country. The district had the two cities of Riga and Jūrmala with the Gulf of Riga to the north. Beginning from the west and counterclockwise to the east, Riga District had Tukums, Jelgava, Bauska, Ogre, Cēsis and Limbaži former districts as neighbours. The area of the district was 3,058 km² with a population of 159,247.
Riga District was one of the largest regions of Latvia, it was strategically important and also had some of the most developed infrastructure in Latvia. It was a cross-point of 10 major motorways and a junction of 6 important railroad lines.
Districts were eliminated during the administrative-territorial reform in 2009.
The larger part of the former region lies in the sand-soil plains of Riga that are covered by pinewoods, low links, marshlands and level countryside that is typical for littoral lowlands. In the northern part, there are ridges of links and many lakes have formed in hollows between them. There are 132 lakes in the Riga Region and the biggest of them is the Babīte Lake, Lielais Baltezers, Mazais Baltezers, Dūņu Lake and Lilaste Lake. The former district is also crossed by three major rivers in Latvia – Daugava, Lielupe and Gauja Rivers.

Īsfilma uzsver un atklāj pilsētas daudzveidīgajā arhitektūrā pamanāmāko vērtību -- jūgendstilu. Grūti atrast ielu stūri, uz kura stāvot, nebūtu redzams vismaz pusducis vai pat krietni vairāk šī stila ēku. Tā nav nekur citur pasaulē. Jūgendstils ir pamatvērtība, kas 1997. gadā noteica Rīgas vēsturiskā centra iekļaušanu Pasaules kultūras mantojuma sarakstā.

Un zinu, esmu grēkojis Tallinā, Bet Rīga ir tik nervoza pilsēta. Man neatstāt pirmo iespaidu otro reiz. Mana zvaigžņu stunda sita tavā ateljē, Kad ievēlēts es tiku leģendārajā stila padomē. Bet tas ir beigu sākums -- paiet dienas, es tieku notiesāts, Tu pamet mani ar skandālu, un mēs sākam auksto karu. Rīgas modes izģērbs tevi ar acīm. Rīgas modes izģērbs tevi ar acīm, Tu būsi nākamā. Tagad vari baudīt tikai acīm, Pieskarties nedrīkst, ne-ne-nedrīkst, nē! Viņa vairs nav noslēpums...

For my final major college project, I decided to produce a film about sex tourism in my home town of Riga. As well as meeting a wide variety of male tourist groups from all over Europe, I interviewed a lot of locals that had come in to direct and indirect contact with the sex industry - everyone from a local rickshaw driver to the director of a company that organises stag weekends. This film is neither supporting, nor opposing sex tourism, but is a mere look in to a subject that i have always found interesting and intriguing. A big thank you to Luke Quinn and everyone in Year 2 Film & TV production at Reigate School of Art ,Design & Media, East Surrey College for making this possible. Enjoy!

We found Riga to be a very child friendly, safe, lovely place. This time we visited it during summer, walked around its many parks and gorgeous canals, enjoyed its medieval Old Town as well as its Art Nouveau district. Not to forget the tasty, cheap food and beer, any of the traditional "Lido" restaurants are a must.
We started our journey from London. Our Destination was Lake District, Cumbria. It is a non metropolitan county in North West England. We reached there by evening and stayed at YHA Ambleside. The rent was 40 £ for 4 person. The room was very nice. Next morning we woke up early and visited almost all the eye catching places in Lake District. Trust me it's more beautiful through naked eyes than iphone 6s. After sunset we headed for Blackpool. Blackpool is a seaside resort on the Irish Sea coast of England. Decorated with a lot of entertainment buildings and amusement parks. Must be more happening and beautiful in mid summer. We stayed there for one night. Our hotel was Beachside Hotel. Well it was not that comfortable but the price was cheap (37£ for 4 person). After having lunch we lef...

Rock 'n' roll way to die
