Botanical garden's Light in the Dark
Though usually the University of Latvia's Botanical garden is open from spring to autumn, this year, on its centenary, it invites visitors for walks during the dark and cold time. The garden is open every night from 17:00 to 21:00 for a "miraculous walk in the dark".
