Description

Explore the modern side of Riga with a local guide. Leave behind the cultural gems of Old Riga and discover the vibrant energy of Latvia’s capital city. Admire the stunning Art Nouveau buildings that characterize this part of the world. We will also explore some of the courtyards and see the private residences of famous Rigans. While Old Riga is the cultural heart of the capital, there’s still lots to do and see across other parts of the city — particularly in the area known locally as Center. Latvia’s capital is a modern hub of hustle and bustle, hosting vibrant eateries, independent stores, and a stunning collection of historic buildings. This isn’t the average Riga walking tour. Your guide will share fascinating insights, anecdotes, and stories behind the landmarks you’re admiring. Learn about the cultural identity of Riga, a melting pot of Latvian, Baltic German, Russian, English, and Jewish influences. See the sights that even some of the locals don’t know about, as well as some of the city’s most prominent attractions. Landmarks such as the Boulevard Circle and the various examples of Art Nouveau architecture that litter the area mean more when they’re introduced to you by a passionate and knowledgeable guide who was born and raised in this beautiful city.
