Riga Urban Adventures

Day tours, with a local


Riga Urban Adventures team invites travellers to explore the two-faced city combining ancient and youthful with our Riga sightseeing tours. Notwithstanding that the Old Town of Riga is a World Heritage Site, the city, also called the “Paris of the East”, is a major metropolis of the Baltic States. The combination of historical architecture monuments, numerous glittering glass hotels and business centres has created a potent charm to the city. Generous beauty and a fusion of old and new is what you can find here on a tour in Riga.

This was an excellent tour with a guide who answered all our questions - about the city itself, daily life for Latvians, cultural and historical significances. LOVED the activity of making our own Latvian dancing shoes!! What an incredible surprise treat! We also love that the guides share with us their personal or family's experiences, which enriches the tour, allowing us to get a better glimpse into what life has been like in Lativa over the last century. Excellent, excellent tour.
