Bicycle Tour of Riga
Description
At the designated time, we'll meet on Pils Street, where we'll be waiting for you with your bicycles. Are you ready to explore Latvia's capital city on pedals?
We'll travel a total of 11 kilometres (6.8 miles) by bike, cycling through the streets and parks of Riga's historical centre. As the tour unfolds, the city's past and present will be revealed, as well as many curiosities about its most emblematic buildings.
As we cycle, we'll see Riga's Freedom Monument, the Great Choral Synagogue, the skyscraper known as Stalin's Birthday Cake, and the central market, among many other places of interest. We'll also, of course, make various stops along the way so you can take photos.
On this route, we'll also explore Riga's Russian district, known locally as Maskavas Forštate. Wooden houses, cobbled streets, and Soviet architecture feature prominently in this neighbourhood—a total contrast to the medieval style in the city's historical centre. This district is a must–visit!
After a two–hour route, we'll end this bicycle tour of Riga at the same place where we started.
