At the peak the Sun is 49° above the horizon, towards the south-east, so you want a clear view in that direction from Riga.

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 2,551 km south-west of Riga.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Teboulba, about 2,565 km south-west, where totality lasts 1 m 10 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
