About this experience
Every city has its own unique biography, extraordinary stories, and legends. I want to introduce you to the beauty of Riga. She is over eight centuries old, but still surprises with her youth, charm, mysterious beauty, and enigma. I invite you to get to know the city more closely, wander through its narrow cobblestone streets, feel the quiet breeze of centuries, admire the beauty of buildings created in different eras.
What to Expect
You will learn where the city was born, what were its original boundaries, where the oldest stone building in the city is located, where the Dominicans founded a monastery. You will see how the fortress walls surrounding the city looked because Riga was a powerful fortress.
We will walk through the Town Hall Square, look at the House of Blackheads, learn the extraordinary story of its rebirth. Admire the wonderful view of St. Peter's Church, the Dome Cathedral, St. John's Church, the Riga Castle. Visit the 'Three Brothers', learn who rang the 'bell of sinners', and where the executioner lived. You will definitely count the roosters on the spires of churches, make wishes, and of course, visit the most cinematographic street in the city, where famous movies like 'Seventeen Moments of Spring' and 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' were filmed.
During the walk, you will hear interesting stories, legends, and secrets of the Old Town, as well as have the opportunity to taste traditional Latvian dishes, sample Riga Black Balsam and beer, purchase souvenirs to remember.
I am sure you will fall in love with Riga and come back for another date with her!
