Overview

In the 16th century, the people of Riga put a statue of the Virgin Mary on trial for witchcraft! That’s just one of the stories waiting for you in this UNESCO-listed Old Town.

Walk past 800 years of history across 17+ stops, from the House of the Blackheads to the Swedish Gate with a forbidden love storey. Hear about the Tsar who rushed to fight a cathedral fire, the giant who carried a divine child across the river, and the merchant who put cats on his roof to insult his rivals.

This self-guided audio tour is the perfect orientation for those who are first time visitors to Riga.. This isn’t a list of landmarks. It’s the storey of how a small Baltic capital survived invasions, occupations, and centuries of chaos – and came out swinging.
