Best Things to Do in Riga
Riga itself is a marvel, and the best way to experience it is on a stroll. You can take your own prescribed route, opt for a free daily tour, or hire with a professional guide. Along the way you'll notice the Art-Nouveau architecture, the urban parks (like Kronvalda Park), plus the varied cafés and bars. You can use the Town Hall Square and the Freedom Monument as two landmarks: Between them, you'll find the House of Blackheads, the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, St. Peter's Church and Riga Cathedral.
