Description
Discover Riga’s medieval Old Town in a comfortable and time-saving way on a private cycle rickshaw tour. Instead of walking long distances over uneven cobblestone streets, sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere while your English-speaking driver takes you through the historic heart of the city.
The compact and environmentally friendly cycle rickshaw can travel along narrow streets and through areas where regular cars are not permitted. This allows you to explore much more of the Old Town in a short time, leaving you with extra free time to visit museums, enjoy local food or return to the places that caught your interest.
During the ride, see Riga’s most important landmarks, including Town Hall Square, the magnificent House of the Blackheads, St. Peter’s Church, St. John’s Church and the medieval Convent Yard. Continue past lively Livu Square, the famous Cat House, the Small and Great Guilds, the Powder Tower and the remains of Riga’s historic city walls.
Travel along charming cobbled lanes to see the Swedish Gate, Jacob’s Barracks, the Three Brothers medieval houses, St. James’s Cathedral and the Latvian Parliament. Admire Riga Castle, the riverside surroundings and the impressive Riga Cathedral before continuing through picturesque streets, historic squares and hidden corners that many visitors miss.
Along the way, your friendly English-speaking driver will provide a brief introduction to Riga and share information, local stories and interesting facts about the principal landmarks. There will also be opportunities to slow down or stop briefly for photographs where traffic and local regulations permit.
The entire rickshaw is reserved exclusively for your booking, making the experience ideal for couples, cruise passengers, families and guests who prefer a relaxed alternative to a traditional walking tour. Enjoy a personal introduction to Riga, cover the main sights efficiently and experience the unique character of the Old Town from a different perspective.
