The canal is perfect for a run. It is not too crowded in the early morning.

The running route along the Pilsētas canals in Riga combines nature and the city in a special way. The narrow waterways meander through the heart of the city and are lined with well-kept green spaces and shady trees - a pleasant backdrop that makes running easier and provides a pleasant change.

Here you can keep a steady pace while the water moves quietly next to you and the ducks and boats bring a little life to the scenery. The alternation between small bridges that span the canal and the green park sections is particularly pleasant. The route is mostly flat, which makes it ideal for a relaxed, easy-going run.

Early in the morning or late in the evening, the canal unfolds its very own flair. The light is reflected in the water and the city seems to breathe more slowly. As you run, you notice how the mix of water and greenery radiates a special calm that almost imperceptibly gives you strength for the next stage. A refreshing section that will definitely enrich your Riga experience as a runner.
