- Livu Square - It’s astonishing to think that this Square was once the site of the Riga River, a shipping route for Latvian grain until the 16th century. It was later known as the Rīdzene River and even Rīdziņa as it gradually narrowed. Today, the old river route is a path for countless Rigans and visitors, with beautiful flower beds evoking memories of the past.
- Powder Tower - Originally known as the Sand Tower, this is one of the medieval fortification wall towers of Riga, constructed in 1330.
- Jekaba Iela - The Riga Archdiocesan Cathedral stands as the main Catholic church in Latvia. Its slender tower has retained the pyramidal shape typical of Riga’s medieval church towers better than any other. Historically, it is also the first Latvian parish church in Riga (1523).
- 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 of the same family. These centuries-old buildings now house the Museum of Architecture and the National Center for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.
- Swedish Gate (Zviedru Varti) - The Swedish Gate is the only remaining gate of the original eight in Riga’s fortification wall.
- Riga Cathedral - The Cathedral is the largest and one of the oldest sacred structures from the medieval era in the Baltic region, featuring Romanesque, early Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau elements. Today, it hosts both church services and concerts by local and internationally acclaimed musicians.
- Riga Town Hall Square - Completely rebuilt after World War II, when the square and its historic buildings were destroyed, Town Hall Square now welcomes visitors with the historical façade of the House of the Blackheads, the reconstructed Town Hall, and other buildings. It is the site where the city’s Christmas tree was first lit 500 years ago, now marked by a memorial plaque and a new Christmas tree each year.
- St. Peter’s Church - St. Peter’s Church is the tallest church in Riga and one of the most significant medieval monumental architecture sacred buildings in the Baltic States.
