Riga Boat Ride
Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Bastejkalna Park, where we'll begin a boat ride along the Riga Canal and along the Daugava River. All aboard!
During our cruise along the canal, we'll be able to enjoy some of the city's most iconic landmarks from a unique perspective, such as the Freedom Monument. This is one of the most important symbols of Riga, commemorating Latvia's independence.
We'll pass by the Latvian National Opera, a building built at the end of the 18th century with period features, next to the memorial of the famous ballet dancer Maris Liepa. We'll also admire Spīķeri, a historic area with former cargo warehouses that today has been transformed into a modern and vibrant cultural district.
Afterwards, we'll go into the Dauvaga River, from where we'll have views of the Old Town, including Riga Castle on one side and more modern buildings, such as the Latvian National Library, on the other. You'll also see the towers of St. Peter's Church, Riga Cathedral and St. James Cathedral in Riga.
The highlight of the cruise will be the audio guide in English available on board, which will provide you with detailed information about each point of interest you see, as well as the history and culture of the city.
Finally, after an hour of sightseeing, we'll say goodbye at the departure point.
