Nestled in an exceptional natural bay, Riga was a gateway to the continent for nearly 3000 years, especially during the Soviet era. Germans, Swedes, Poles and Russians competed for the control of the small country until its independence in 1991. Today, the city of a million inhab-itants remains the cradle of Latvian identity.
