1 September, or Knowledge Day, is an unavoidable celebration for everyone who has ever crossed the threshold of an educational institution to start their studies. It is a celebration not only for the pupils themselves, but also for their parents and all those people who are just watching the children dressed in their finery, with the colourful autumn flowers in their hands.
What to do on the first of September? What to do when the bouquets of asters, gladioli and dahlias have already been handed over to the teachers and you need to go out to celebrate this special day. A big celebration with lavishly laid tables or a small get-together in your favourite café - it all depends on the family's possibilities, traditions and wishes.
If 1 September is your child's very first 1 September, you need to make it a real celebration - one that your child would really look forward to, even after the long summer holidays - just like Christmas. How to do it? It can be simple - knowing your child, you need to find exactly the entertainment that will excite him most and leave him with pleasant memories of the first day of school.
Parents' options for making 1 September a celebration for their children are endless, limited by budget, time, family location and where they live. Of course, there are many more things to do on 1 September in Riga, which is home to several cinemas, amusement parks, tourist attractions and other places popular with children. The tourism website PureTravel.com say that while Riga is well known for its nightlife, the city also offers countless entertainment opportunities during the day.
What to do in Semester 1? How to entertain your child on the first day of school? The tourism project "Rigabycanal" offers day or evening entertainment that will not leave children and their parents indifferent - a boat trip on the Riga Canal and the Daugava River. The boat route includes the most popular sights in the Old Town and on the left bank of the Daugava, which will be presented from a different angle.
"Rigabycanal offers cruises on one of four boats - Laima, Rebecca, Darling and Maria. For the youngest cruise participants, the fact that they have stepped aboard one of these boats may be even more exciting than the fact that they have an unprecedented view of Riga! Excursions on the Riga Canal and the Daugava River can be organised for both groups and individuals.
During the cruise, you will have a view of Riga's most popular tourist attractions and places - the Latvian National Theatre, Andrejosta, the Old Riga skyline, the Central Market and the Freedom Monument - this is just a small part of what you will see during the cruise! A real lesson also on the very first day of school - let the Knowledge Day bring new knowledge!
