Riga Cruise Reviews

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

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

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. ...

ok walk around to appreciate the art of building ...

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 ...

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! ...

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). ...

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

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 ...

We did not know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. A very nice old town, very walkable with interesting old buildings and cafes, etc. No shuttle here because the old town is a 10 minute walk from the ship. But of course if one is mobile impaired that is a problem. ...
