What awaits you
"Business cards" of the Old Town Walking along the narrow streets of Old Riga, you will hear local legends and see all the classic sights of the city: the Dome Cathedral, the Town Hall, St. Peter's Church with the tallest spire in Latvia, the Catholic Cathedral of St. Jacob and the Church of St. John. In addition, I will show you the narrowest street in Riga, the restored masterpiece of medieval architecture - the house of the Brotherhood of Blackheads - and the Swedish Gate, the only ones preserved in the system of city fortifications
New Riga By the 19th century, Riga had emerged from the tight bondage of the fortress - the construction of expensive tenement houses, picturesque parks and majestic temples began. The former moat became a city canal, a resting place for residents of Riga. You will see the main attractions of the Boulevard Ring: the Freedom Monument, the Nymph Fountain, the Opera House, the Orthodox Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, the Bastion Hill and the Barclay de Tolly Monument. Finally, I will recommend cafes and places to explore on your own.
