Let's discover Riga, the capital of Latvia, on this walking tour through its historic Old Town and beyond. We visit key sights including the House of the Black Heads, St. Peter’s Church, the Freedom Monument, Riga Central Market, and more. Along the way, we explore narrow alleys, Soviet landmarks, see several Art Nouveau buildings and even enjoy some riverside views.
