What to expect
Jacob's Barracks
The tour will begin at Jēkaba Barracks — a place where you can understand that Riga was once a true military fortress.
This is one of the most important landmarks in Riga: the Freedom Monument, unveiled in 1935 and funded by public donations. It symbolizes Latvia’s independence, proclaimed in 1918.
Livu Square
Livu Square, named in honor of the Livonians, a Finno-Ugric people who lived here even before Riga was founded in 1201.
Bremen Musicians – The statue was gifted to Riga in 1990 by the city of Bremen, Germany, at a time when Latvia was still on the path to restoring its independence.
St. John's Church
St. John’s Church – one of the oldest churches in Riga.
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church – one of the oldest and most impressive churches in Riga.
Town Hall Square — a place where Riga’s power, wealth, and public life were concentrated for more than 700 years.
Riga Cathedral
Dome Square & Riga Cathedral – one of the most important historical centers in Riga.
A building constructed in 1330 as a fortress of the Livonian Order. That’s why it is so large and massive — it was built for defense and to demonstrate power.
Three Brothers – the oldest preserved residential buildings in Riga. They were built at different times but together form one of the most interesting architectural stories in the city.
St. James's Cathedral
St. James’s Cathedral – built in 1225 as a Catholic church. During Swedish rule, it became Lutheran, but today it is once again the main Catholic cathedral in Riga.
Swedish Gate – the only surviving city gate from the 17th-century defensive wall.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
