Riga
Riga is a wonderful city, also because it has two historical centres, one medieval and the other in Art Nouveau. It is a cosmopolitan and modern city that’s really worth a visit. Riga is so sophisticated, bubbly, engaging that it is defined by many as the Paris of the East. The best way to get to know it is to wander through its picturesque alleys, charming streets, and enchanting squares.
Travel Documents
Identity Card
An identity card valid for leaving the country allows entry into European Union countries. However, please note that there have been reports of difficulties in some countries with the recognition of renewed and stamped paper identity cards, as well as the refusal of electronic ID cards renewed with a certificate issued by the municipality.
Passport
An ordinary passport is valid for all countries whose governments are recognized by the Italian one, except for any legal restrictions, and can be obtained by all citizens of the Republic. A passport is issued (and renewed) by the police and abroad, by diplomatic and consular representatives. It is valid for 10 years, but in some cases provided for by current legislation, this validity may be shortened.
