Embankment of the Daugava

Embankment of the Daugava River, Daugava embankment, Western Dvina
Latvia, Riga
The Daugava embankment is a picturesque place that is popular with both tourists and local residents. Before the outbreak of World War II, the largest port of Riga was located here. In 1944, the place was completely destroyed, and then, after restoration, it turned into a walking area.

If you are heading to a city that is located on the river, be sure to include a walk along the embankment in your plan. Let it be a short 15-20 minute walk, but it is unlikely to disappoint you. Near the water, the city feels different. Each river has its own character, its own unique run of waves, air, landscape. I love to shoot the opposite shore. The picture is always different, with its own unique style. However, do not expect anything special from the Daugava embankment - a walking path, a lawn, a cable-stayed bridge in the distance .
