Activity itinerary

House Of The Black Heads
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Black Heads house is located in the very heart of Old Riga. Wonderful, surprising, royal.
St. Peter's Church
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Riga's St.Peter's Church dominates the cityscape as the tallest spire, and as one of the oldest and most valuable monumental architecture edifices in the Baltic States from the Middle Ages. St.Peter's is the tallest of the Riga churches, a significant landmark, and a prime example of the 13th century Gothic style.
St. John's Church
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
St.John's Church is the oldest house of worship in Riga. Originally the Dominican monastery's chapel was located here in the 13th century. After several reconstructions, around 1500 the edifice acquired its present appearance - high Gothic pediment, span roof and a small tower.
Livu Square
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
It's hard to believe that the Square once was the site of the Riga River, which was a shipping route for transporting Latvian grain up to the 16th century. Later it was called the Rīdzene River and even Rīdziņa as it gradually became narrower. Today, along the old route of the river, pavement wears away the shoes of countless Rigans and visitors to the city, and beautiful flower-beds remind one of the past times.
Riga Cathedral
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
The foundation stone of Riga Dome Cathedral was laid on July 25, 1211. The last large-scale restoration took place in the late 19th century when the cathedral acquired its present appearance. Today, Riga Dome Cathedral holds services and provide for rich cultural life — various concerts of popular artists take place here.
Riga Castle
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Riga Castle has stood on the right bank of the River Daugava for more than 700 years. Through the centuries, it has seen severe destruction, numerous rulers, and wars. Today it houses the residence of the President of Latvia.

The oldest complex of dwelling houses in Riga was constructed in the 15th century.
Swedish Gate (Zviedru Varti)
