Top Things to Do in Riga
- Stroll Riga Old Town (Vecrīga): Walk through narrow cobbled alleyways to see the House of the Black Heads, the Three Brothers historic houses, and the medieval Dome Cathedral.
- Climb St. Peter’s Church Tower: Ride the lift to the top of the 123-metre gothic spire for 360-degree views across the Daugava River and Riga’s terracotta rooftops.
- Explore the Art Nouveau District: Walk down Alberta Iela and Elizabetes Iela to admire hundreds of dramatic early-20th-century facades filled with gargoyles, carved sphinxes, and floral masonry.
- Riga Central Market (Centrāltirgus): Visit five massive converted German Zeppelin hangars right beside the railway station to sample smoked fish, local rye bread, and hot Latvian pastries.
