Free Tour of Old Riga

About the Riga Free Walking Tour

Old Riga is the cultural and historical heart of Latvia’s capital city. Nestled on the banks of the Daugava River, this medieval settlement is known for its stunning architecture and unique charm. Because Old Riga is packed with beautiful buildings and historical landmarks, the best way to see it is on foot. With our free tours in Riga, you won’t have to worry about missing a thing.

One of our experienced Riga tour guides will take you for a leisurely two-hour stroll through the narrow, character-filled cobblestone streets of Old Riga to show you the city’s heart and soul. Along the way, we’ll explore Riga’s auspicious history as a trading hub of the Hanseatic League. We’ll also take a close look at the Baroque facades, Gothic spires, and Art Nouveau that make the city one of Europe’s most beautiful.

As well as being introduced to Old Riga’s museums, galleries, theaters, and eateries, you’ll get to learn the stories and anecdotes behind the landmarks — giving you the context you won’t get on your own or on inferior tours.

From the House of the Blackheads and Town Hall Square to Swedish Gate and the House of Parliament, you’ll get to see the real city during a free walking tour of Riga. Contact us today to learn more or book online by clicking the link below.
