Shore Excursion - Awesome Riga Tour

Riga is much more than a place full of sights; it is also a city that is full of life, joy, and music. As my hometown, it gives me a chance to make Riga shine for my tour guests. Together with me you will not just see the beautiful buildings of our precious Riga and hear its stories. You will also find out how people used to live here and how Latvians live today. During the tour you will visit the magical Old Riga, the lively Central Market, the Kipsala Island, and the Art Nouveau district. You will also have some time for shopping in local designers' shops and in a shopping mall in the center of Riga. And we can stop for lunch of one of many outside cafes of Old Riga.

I'll meet you at the cruise ship terminal. We start the tour in the Old Town, where you will see the House of the Blackheads, St. Peter's church, the House of the Black Cat, the Latvian House of the Parliament and much more. I'll show you the nicest buildings of Gothic, Baroque, Classicism and Art Nouveau. Then we will head to the Central Market - an amazing masterpiece of architecture where the everyday life of Riga's inhabitants can be seen. Our last stop is Kipsala Island, an area historically inhabited by fishermen and port workers, which is now one of the most attractive areas of Riga. It attracts Rigans and city guests because of its beautiful wooden houses, peaceful atmosphere, and the view of the city from across the river. Lunch break options are endless in Old Town and central Riga. I can always show you some of my own favourites as a local. Then we will visit the spectacular Art Nouveau District where you'll see the elegant style which Riga is so famous for.
