Old Riga Free Walking Tour
Overview
The old city counts for only 1/600 part of the whole city, however, in those buildings and narrow streets you can feel the complex history of this small spot of land.
Did you know that this used to be the biggest city in the Swedish kingdom? Did you know the world's largest planes were produced here? Did you know the world's smallest cameras were produced here as well? Did you know the inventor of jeans was born here? :)
You will hear about these and many other interesting facts and people during the tour, and you will also see the impressive architecture of the Old City, which is proudly listed on UNESCO world heritage list.
Hope to see you soon!
This activity includes:
- Powder Tower
- The Swedish Gate
- House of the Black Heads
- Saeima
- Three Brothers, Latvian Museum of Architechture
- Dome Square

- Cat House
- St. Peter's Church
- Riga City Hall
