Here you will discover a fascinating mixture of history and lively city life. As you stroll through the winding streets, you will feel the special charm of this Hanseatic city, which gradually unfolds. Impressive Art Nouveau facades, cozy cafes and small shops that catch your eye on almost every corner make every trip to this corner of the city a new experience.
Riga has something unique, almost nostalgic - perhaps it is due to its proximity to the Daugava or the air that blows over from the Baltic Sea. The atmosphere is relaxed without being too conformist. You don't get the feeling that everything here is just for tourists, but that Riga has retained its authentic face.
A walk through the old town is like a journey through time. You pass magnificent buildings and keep finding small squares that invite you to linger. At the same time, you can feel that Riga has not stood still - there is a creative scene that leaves its mark, be it through works of art, music or modern architecture.
The only drawback: if you are looking for really quiet corners, the old town can sometimes be crowded. In high season, it can get hectic, especially at the hotspots. But that's just part of it, isn't it? If you go for it, you will discover more than just a tourist attraction - but a city that is alive.
Really a worthwhile walk through a piece of UNESCO World Heritage!
