Description

The double-decker buses depart from the Triangula Bastion (11.Novembra Krastmala 17) between 10:15 AM and 2:45 PM, every 1.5 hours. There are 11 main stops along the route. This pass allows you to make the most of the hop-on-hop-off tour style. From 1.10.26 only Red Line is operating. The tour runs through three districts. First, the bus goes to Pardaugava, an area which overlooks ancient cathedrals on the left bank of the river Daugava. Crossing the Stone Bridge, you will see the majestic panorama of the Old City – the “City of the Golden Cockerels”. Next, the bus travels toward the city centre where many of the city's main attractions are located. You will pass the Boulevard Ring, see the famous Monument of Freedom, the Opera House, the Powder Tower, and much more. You'll see Riga's Central Market - which is the largest covered market in Europe. Then the tour also runs through Riga’s architectural district as efficiently as possible. You'll get the chance to see a range of architectural styles, from Romantic facades to decorative Art Nouveau. The richness of fantasy in each facade – stone masks and mythical monsters. The famous Alberta Street with its facades and the delightful talent of the architect Michael Eisenstein will not leave you indifferent. The architecture of the Riga facades is included in the UNESCO list of architectural heritage. Having passed our line by bus, you will get acquainted with more than 80 sights of the city.
