The Best Of Riga Private Walking Tour

Private tour of Riga Old Town revealing hidden streets, black cat sculpture, golden roosters, Christmas tree tradition

Duration: 2 hours

On a private, tailor-made tour of Riga’s Old Town — the heart of the city — you’ll explore streets, corners and points of interest that many visitors don’t see. You’ll move beyond the main sights to a different side of Riga, visiting hidden spots that may even surprise locals.

Along the way your guide will share fascinating facts and stories. You’ll hear who hated the sculpture of the black cat and why, and learn the story behind golden roosters being placed instead of crosses on some church towers. The guide will also discuss claims such as Latvian women being the tallest, and explain Riga’s role in the Christmas tree decorating tradition. These anecdotes and local insights will bring the old streets to life as you walk through them.
