• Laima Clock - “Laima” is a prominent chocolate manufacturer in the Baltic region. This clock, located near the Freedom Monument, was once a popular romantic meeting spot for couples.
• Freedom Monument - The Freedom Monument has been a central landmark in Riga for nearly a century. Standing 42.7 meters tall, this granite and copper masterpiece symbolizes the Latvian nation’s quest for freedom and independence.
• Bastejkalna Park - Bastion Hill is one of the most romantic spots in central Riga, featuring narrow paths, tree-lined alleys, a stone garden, and a water cascade. Adjacent to the Freedom Monument, this park has delighted visitors for over a century, offering a special atmosphere in both winter and summer.
• Swedish Gate (Zviedru Varti) - The Swedish Gate is the only remaining gate of the original eight in Riga’s fortification wall.
• Three Brothers - This is the oldest residential complex in Riga, dating back to the 15th century. The three closely built houses have long been known as the Three Brothers, with a legend suggesting they were built by men from the same family. These centuries-old buildings now house the Museum of Architecture and the National Center for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.
• Riga Castle - Riga Castle has stood on the right bank of the River Daugava for over 700 years. It has witnessed significant destruction, various rulers, and wars throughout the centuries. Today, it serves as the residence of the President of Latvia.
• Riga Cathedral - The Cathedral is the largest and one of the oldest medieval sacred buildings in the Baltic region, featuring Romanesque, early Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau elements. In addition to church services, the cathedral hosts concerts by both local and internationally acclaimed musicians.
• Riga Town Hall Square - The Town Hall Square in Riga has been completely rebuilt, as it was destroyed during World War II. Visitors are greeted by the historical façade of the House of the Blackheads, the reconstructed Town Hall, and other buildings. This square is where the city’s Christmas tree was first lit 500 years ago, and now a memorial plaque marks the spot, with a new Christmas tree decorated annually.
• St. Peter’s Church - St. Peter’s Church is the tallest church in Riga and one of the oldest and most significant examples of medieval monumental architecture in the Baltic States.
• Livu Square - It is hard to imagine that this square was once the site of the Riga River, a shipping route for Latvian grain until the 16th century. Later known as the Rīdzene River and even Rīdziņa, it gradually narrowed. Today, the old river route is marked by pavement worn by countless Rigans and visitors, with beautiful flower beds serving as a reminder of the past.
