Riga
Riga’s Old Town tours blur together on paper, so I sorted out which ones earn your two hours. The medieval core is UNESCO-listed, but the bigger surprise sits just outside it: Europe’s densest stretch of Art Nouveau architecture. Strong guides cover both; the districts are fifteen minutes apart on foot.
Discover Riga’s charm on a 2-hour guided Old Town walking tour filled with historical sights, stories, and local tips—perfect for first-timers and culture lovers.
