Riga

Riga Region · Latvia

Admission and costs
The street and square market is free to enter. Food, drinks and purchases are paid for at individual stalls; the museum suggested for rainy weather has its own admission.
Getting there
From Rīga Centrālā station, walk towards the old town through the 13. janvāra iela area. Follow Rātslaukums and then Doma laukums: Dome Square hosts the market, separate from the museum visit at the House of the Black Heads.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The House of the Black Heads, Rātslaukums 7, offers an indoor visit through reconstructed historic interiors. It has its own museum ticket and hours; it is not a covered section of the Doma laukums market.

Caserta · Royal Palace

Province of Caserta · Campania · Italy

Admission and costs
The combined Apartments, Park and English Garden ticket costs €18, plus €1 online. The Royal Nativity is inside the Apartments, so a park-only ticket excludes it. TicketOne is the palace’s authorised online seller; exit and re-entry are not permitted.
Getting there
Alight at Caserta station opposite the palace. Cross towards Piazza Carlo di Borbone and reach the main complex entrance; the Apartments visit is distinct from access on the park side. Keep your ticket and complete your chosen route before leaving the complex.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Royal Apartments form the indoor core of the visit, including the nativity in Sala Ellittica. The evening Apartments ticket from 17:00 costs €5 plus €1 online and does not include the full daytime park visit.
