Riga in 3 days — FAQ

Is 3 days enough to see Riga?
Three days is ideal — the city on day one, Rundāle Palace and the Hill of Crosses on day two, and Sigulda’s castles or the beach at Jūrmala on day three, using Riga as a base for Latvia and the Baltics.
What is the best day trip from Riga for 3 days?
Rundāle Palace is the grandest, the Hill of Crosses the most moving, Sigulda the best for nature and castles, and Jūrmala the best beach escape; all are superb from Riga.
How do I plan a 3-day Riga itinerary?
Spend day one in the city, day two at Rundāle and the Hill of Crosses, and day three at Sigulda or Jūrmala, booking day trips ahead in summer.
