- Riga Town Hall Square - The tour will showcase the key cultural and historical landmarks of Old Riga, including the Town Hall Square, St. Peter’s Church, Convent Yard, St. John’s Church and St. John’s Yard, Livu Square, Riga Cathedral, the residential complex “The Three Brothers”, and St. Jacob’s Church. Old Riga is also home to numerous luxurious Art Nouveau buildings, once occupied by the city’s wealthiest and most influential residents.
- St. Peter’s Church - Riga St. Peter’s Church, the city’s tallest and most prominent structure, is among the oldest and most significant examples of medieval monumental architecture in the Baltic States. As the highest church in Riga, it stands as a notable 13th-century Gothic architectural monument of national importance.
- 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 constructed by men from the same family. These centuries-old buildings now host the Museum of Architecture and the National Center for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.
- House Of The Black Heads - Situated in the heart of Old Riga near the Town Hall Square, opposite the Riga City Council, the House of the Blackheads is grand and regal, making it a must-visit for every city guest.
- Cat House - Wrought-copper cats adorn the corner turrets of a building facing the Great Guild on Līvu Square, with their backs arched and tails poised as if ready to leap. This famous and unique building, once controversial and even the subject of a lawsuit, is named the Cat House due to these figures. Today, the cats not only perch on the roof but also reside on the ground floor.
- Riga Cathedral - Since July 25, 1211, Riga Cathedral has been a beloved landmark in Old Riga. The church acquired its current appearance at the end of the 19th century and now hosts a vibrant cultural scene, featuring concerts by local and international artists and various art exhibitions.
