- Bastejkalna Park - Bastion Hill is a charming and romantic location in central Riga, featuring winding paths, tree-lined alleys, a stone garden, and a water cascade. Adjacent to the Freedom Monument, this park has been a visual and spiritual delight for over a century, offering a unique atmosphere in both winter and summer.
- Livu Square - It is surprising to learn 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 eventually Rīdziņa as it narrowed, today the old river route is a bustling pavement worn by 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 is the principal 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, established in 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 medieval buildings in the Baltic region, showcasing 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 features the historical façade of the House of the Blackheads, the reconstructed Town Hall, and other buildings. It is also the site where the city’s Christmas tree was first lit 500 years ago, now commemorated by a memorial plaque and an annually decorated Christmas tree.
- St. Peter’s Church - St. Peter’s Church is the tallest church in Riga and one of the most significant medieval monumental architecture examples in the Baltic States.
