Twinned with Riga
18 of 36 in this atlas
Riga's twinning ties span a wide geographic range, from neighboring Baltic capitals like Tallinn and Vilnius to distant cities such as Santiago, Dallas, and Taipei. Most pairings are mutual, reflecting agreement on both sides, though Moscow appears only from Riga's side, with no reciprocal listing. The overall pattern shows connections across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with former Soviet and Eastern Bloc cities featuring prominently.
