How to get there - Rīga
Visit of the old city of Riga
Steps: Rīga
Early in the morning, start by visiting the halls of the covered market (the largest in Europe). These are old zeppelin hangars. Enter the old city through the Camel Gate, which reminds us that the goods of Asian caravans arrived as far as Riga. Then go up to the bell tower of St. Peter's Church to admire the view of the city. Then, take rue Skarnu to reach the Place du Dôme, the centre of the old town, where the cathedral of the Dôme is located, home to one of the most beautiful organs in Europe. Stroll through the maze of streets that make up the historic centre of Riga and discover the many historic buildings of Old Riga.

New City and Art Nouveau
Steps: Rīga
Bordering the old town along Basteja Boulevard is the Opera House. Not far from the Opera House, in Brivibas Street, the city's main artery, stands the Freedom Monument. Riga is known to be the European city with the highest number of architectural masterpieces in the Art Nouveau style. A walk along Elizabetes Street (opposite the station), where part of these buildings are concentrated, is a must. At the end of the street, on Alberta Street, you can admire the city's most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings. We owe the whole street, except number 12, to Eisenstein, the father of the famous filmmaker. At Hotel Latvija, on the 26th floor, the Sky Bar offers a panoramic view of the old town. Take the time to enjoy a cocktail while admiring the sunset...
