About this activity

Explore the heart of Riga on a guided walking tour led by a local who lives and works in the city. This experience combines the rich history of Old Riga with insights into everyday life in Latvia today, offering context you won’t find in guidebooks.

Discover the medieval Small and Great Guilds, the historic Three Brothers, and hidden gems such as the Swedish Gate. The tour also covers key political and cultural landmarks, including St. Jacob’s Cathedral, the Latvian Parliament, and the site of Riga’s former synagogue.

Along the way, your local guide shares stories about Riga’s past, traditions, and how history shapes modern Latvian life today. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors who want a well-rounded introduction to Old Riga from an authentic local perspective.
