Tour description

The Riga Hidden Gems Free Tour takes us to the outskirts of Old Riga in the part we call Center . How about discovering Riga through hidden gems? On our way we will see the Art Nouveau architecture , the circular boulevard, the city parks, important historical monuments and places of current importance .
Much of our tour will also be interesting stories about people who have made a substantial effort in the development of our city.
City that has been influenced by Baltic Germans, Latvians, Russians, Jews and many other people and cultures.

The free walking tour with Rita was very good even if we are not experts in architecture. Rita has a big knowledge and shared it in a clear and interesting way. We feel we understood more the history of Riga and saw the hidden places. Recommended!

Toms is knowledgeable about art nouveau and the history of Latvia. I appreciate his enthusiasm and interest in the style and how it’s reflected on the many buildings of Riga. I enjoyed his tour.

Very good. Don’t dismiss a walking tour of a smaller city without trying one first.
