In the Middle Ages, Riga had a strong port and was a regular member of the Baltic Sea region and the Hanseatic League, the Baltic Sea commercial city alliance in northern Germany. Prosperity of this age can be seen by visiting small and large guildhall, and statues of Blackhead and Rowland.

Riga was established in 1201 by Bishop Albert and won the position of the city in 1225. The local Ribs live in this wetland on the banks of the Daugava River, but the history of the city is related to Germanic culture and Christian culture.

In 1282, Riga became a member of the Hanseatic League and strengthened its position as an important trade city in this region.

Over the centuries, the city has grown into a center of trade, transportation and then industrial center. Until the 19th century, Riga was once governed by Sweden, Poland and Russia, but it has evolved into a Germania city. But in more modern times, the Latvians began to play a greater role in the city.

Riga is the biggest city in the Baltic Sea and has an exciting transition period.

However, the bottom of the city brewed by this creative professional scene is a completely different story. Please participate in the annual UX Riga Design Conference to be held in May every year.
