The cruise terminal was an approx. 10 minute walk to the city. The city was quite small and easy to see all of the sights in the timeframe. Tip - dress nice as most people are dressed well :) Read Less

A pretty city. We took the hop on hop off tour. Read Less

One of my personal favorites, tour was amazing, loved the old town Read Less

The city has less to offer but it is worth a walk. Read Less

Riga: Amazing architecture all around in the old town, beautiful cafes, intricate details on Art Noveau style buildings (so much better than modern apartments), little markets, and traditional alleyways. Because we docked early in the morning, hardly anyone on the street – perfect photo moments. Beautiful old town that is easy walk from the port, thumbs up. Read Less

Our boat docked about 30 minutes from town. We drove through a sad looking area to get there. The town was pretty but shopowners did not seem to care if we were there and a few were just plain rude. A small market with handmade items was very nice and the items were reasonably priced. Read Less

The coach journey returning to the cruise had no Ventilation or air-conditioning at all it was very hot and stuffy 40 to 40 minutes ride Read Less

Interesting old town. But the combination of uneven cobbles and traffic make it difficult to sight see, as one is constantly looking at where one is going rather than historic buildings. Read Less

Please don't bother with the expensive shuttle service that tells you it takes 15mins bus ride. The timing must have included waiting and ALL possible traffic lights. It took us less time than that to walk to old town from the ship. Very nice old town with lots of old and cool buildings. Memorable. Read Less

Very nice city with nice gardens Read Less

One of our favorite cities of all time. It has a unique charm; both as a beautiful history city, and it's Latvian, quite unusual for an American, I must say. Read Less

Very good 2 hour walking tour of the old city, done by an appealing young woman who spoke excellent English Read Less

Lovely place, and easy to navigate on your own with a guidebook. Nice little train took tours around the old town. Read Less

The port we used was about 45-50 minutes away from the city center, so a shuttle bus had to get us to the city. Had a L-o-n-g line waiting to get to the city from the port, but once there, enjoyed looking around. Charming city, but not quite like Tallinn. Read Less

ok walk around to appreciate the art of building Read Less

we visited this quaint town , on foot. the shuttle arranged by the cruise was a blessing. the only way to see riga is on foot. we did do a segway ride, which was real fun. my parents took a sightseeing car, and they too enjoyed the tour. the small local shops, cobbled streets and little houses add to the charm of the town. it does have its mall and mcdonalds but than fully it is not in the centre of the town, the local flavour has been retained there.

A mix of old world and new. You get the medieval nature of the old town, but then it is a very modern place. It really blew us away how you had the two contrasting time periods in the same city, and it just seemed to mesh together effortlessly. This is a city you could spend a lot of time in and enjoying the outdoor bars, cafes, markets, etc... an awesome city that we had no clue about! Read Less

Took the shuttle bus to the castle. Walked around the Old Town and the Art Nouveau area. Lots of lovely wide avenues. Read Less

City is nice, but the ship docked in a lumber yard way outside the city and traffic was insane (over an hour to get in town). Read Less

The port and the city are quite far from each other. And the city is not easy for wheelchairs (cobblestone) but we enjoyed what we saw of it. Sadly, the visit of Riga came after that of Tallinn, and hence the difference of development between the two cities is very noticeable. We got to stroll around the old city center and saw a few Art Nouveau buildings, but the majority of Art Nouveau Houses (on Elisabet-alley) were too far away from our collecting point for us (with wheelchair) to get Read Less
