It’s time to escape Old Riga and its cultural gems and explore more of Latvia’s capital city. This modern metropolis is home to a variety of cultural and historical gems, such as a series of Art Nouveau buildings that characterize this part of the world.

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 free walking tour, however. Our guides possess a wealth of knowledge of the city’s long history. We’ll punctuate our free two-hour walking with fascinating insights, anecdotes, and stories behind the landmarks you’re admiring. This city is a melting pot of cultural and social influences — from Russian, Baltic German, Latvian, English, and Jewish visitors and settlers. If you want to learn more about the cultural identity of Riga, our free walking tours are ideal.
