Rejseplan
Et af Rigas middelalderlige befæstningstårne, oprindeligt kaldet Sandtårnet. Bygget i 1330.
Rådhuspladsen i Riga er blevet fuldstændig genopbygget, da pladsen og dens historiske bygninger blev ødelagt under Anden Verdenskrig. Byens gæster er velkomne af den historiske facade af House of the Blackheads, samt det rekonstruerede rådhus og andre bygninger. Rådhuspladsen er stedet, hvor for 500 år siden byens juletræ blev tændt - nu kan man finde en mindeplade her og et nyt juletræ dekoreres hvert år.
Peterskirken er den højeste kirke i Riga og en af de ældste og mest bemærkelsesværdige hellige bygninger af middelalderlig monumental arkitektur i de baltiske stater.
Det er svært at tro, at pladsen engang var stedet for Riga floden, som var en shipping rute for transport af lettisk korn indtil det 16. århundrede. Senere blev det kaldt Rīdzene floden og endda Rīdziņa som det gradvist blev smalere. I dag, langs den gamle rute af floden, pavement slider væk skoene af utallige Rigans og besøgende til byen, og smukke blomsterbed minder om en af de tidligere tider.
Det ældste boligkompleks i Riga har overlevet fra det 15. århundrede. De tre huse, der var blevet trængt sammen, havde længe været kaldt de tre brødre - legenden siger, at mænd fra samme familie byggede dem. Bygningerne, der er flere århundreder gamle, huser nu Museum of Architecture og det nationale center for beskyttelse af kulturelle monumenter.
Katedralen er den største og en af de ældste hellige bygninger i middelalderen i den baltiske region, der kombinerer romanske, tidlige gotiske, barokke og Art Nouveau funktioner. I dag afholder katedralen ved siden af kirketjenester koncerter af lokale og internationalt anerkendte musikere.
Rigas ærkebiskopkatedral er den vigtigste katolske kirke i Letland. Dens slanke tårn har bevaret bedre end nogen anden den pyramidale form karakteristisk for Rigas middelalderlige kirketårne. Historisk set er det også den første lettiske kirke i Riga (1523).
Den såkaldte svenske port er den eneste port, der er tilbage i dag af otte i alt i Rigas befæstningsvæg.

We booked quite late in the day but we’re welcomed very warmly. It was just the two of us so the tour felt very much like a private one. The guide was very knowledgeable and I got to ask a lot of questions. Riga is such a rich cultural city with a lot of international influences and the guide took us through a very comprehensive walk pointing out everything of relevance in old town. Local anecdotes and jokes were very appreciated. Bonus points for drink at the start of the tour. Thank you very much!
Thank you for lovely review!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly to talk to. She gave a wonderful walk through Old Town and told us stories from olden times and also gave some of her own perspectives of the history of Riga up until now. Thoroughly enjoyable I reccomend to others and would even go again myself.

Our guide, Mara, was absolutely fantastic. She took us around to the major sites, but also several lesser known places and facts as well. We learned so much in this tour. Bring good walking shoes! While the tour is nearly all flat, the cobblestones are still your walking surface as with all old town sections in the area. We had a fantastic time and are very glad we signed up for this tour!
