Welcome to Riga – the city of inspiration!

For the 11th time, Peak Time will take place in Latvia, in Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, the very heart of the capital. All participants will be accommodated in Albert Hotel, which is just two minutes away from the SSE Riga.

Riga, the capital of Latvia, is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Eastern Europe.

Due to its geographical location next to the Baltic Sea, Riga has been an important centre of trade, finance and culture for centuries. It’s been a multinational city and apart from Latvians, Riga has been shaped by Germans, Swedes, Russians and Poles.

Riga has unique values due to its rather intact medieval architecture, its abundance and high quality of Art Nouveau, as well as the 19th century wooden architecture. About 40% of the Riga centre is built in Art Nouveau Style, therefore Riga is widely known as “the Metropolis of Art Nouveau”.

Riga has hundreds of ways for enticing visitors – its rich history, architecture, spacious gardens and parks, museums, art galleries and world-class opera. Diverse music and arts activities are typical for the city. Over centuries, the creative atmosphere evolving in Riga has inspired composers, poets and artists.

Riga is a city, where you would like to return again and again. Riga is not only a capital, not just a place to live in, it is a symbol of Baltic pride; it is the city that will always welcome you and you will get the feeling of having traveled back in time to previous centuries.
