I've been to Latvia twice and stayed in Riga. Latvia is full of historical castles and churches. The Dome cathedral is a must and St. Peter's as well. Last time I went there I went to a museum about the Soviet Occupation which is pretty cool. The indoor market (4 old zepellin hangers) is pretty cool to walk through as well. I've heard the opera house is pretty cool, but I've never been. BTW: If you want to buy souvenirs try and find a native to tell you where to go. There are a few shops that have nicer things at a lower price, but are a little harder to find. If you like adult beverages make sure you try "Riga's Black Balsams"(sp). The weather should be great this time of year temp wise, but make sure you take a small travel umbrella with you.
Have a great trip.
