Description

The longest-running and most successful free tour in Riga takes you to the Central Market, the area formerly known as the Moscow District, and City Centre.

This is NOT an Old Town tour; we believe it's important that travelers see different parts of the city, rather than getting stuck in Disneyland. Come and join, and explore the Real Riga! This is perfect for people who may have already visited the Old City and want to see a bit more of Riga.

Riga Free Tour operates for tips only. So if you like the tour and think we should keep doing it, you can give your part to support the cause.

If you are a large group, please understand that most visitors to the tour are individuals or small groups. Get in touch and let us know about your group. If you wish for tours at different times, ending points, and duration then we recommend a private tour.

Includes

  • Riga Central Market
  • St. Peter's Church

Great tour

We had a great time. Highly recommend this tour. We did both tours ("Old Riga Main Sights Free Tour" and this Alternative tour) and we enjoyed the Alternative better. If you got the time, do it on two separate days as you get a lot of input. We did the tours on two consecutive days and would do this way again.

Veronica was the best!

Excellent tour hosted by Veronica, she was a real vibe! Recommended after doing the Old Town tour to see more of the city and it’s history. Veronica was a great host, insightful and friendly, we really enjoyed our 2 hours in her company. Thanks from UK!

Alternative Tour

Thank you, Liga, for the great tour! After the Old Town tour, the Alternative Tour was the perfect continuation of our visit to Riga and a great way to learn more about the history and culture of Latvia. Thank you for all the fascinating insights — I highly recommend this tour!

Perfect to discover Riga outside the oldtown

Great tour, dedicated guide, lots of insights, not too much though to keep the group entertained and happy.
