Challenge yourself at the Gandrs Climbing Tower, a 20-meter structure with routes for both beginners and experienced climbers. One wall even features an overhang, designed for high-level competitions. Located in Hartmaņa Manor Park, it’s the perfect spot to test your limits. You can also rent a high-quality bicycle here and explore Riga on two wheels at your own pace.

The Botanical Gardens invite visitors to enjoy the beauty of nature all year round. From February to April, the greenhouses burst with azaleas, followed by the graceful bloom of magnolias in spring. Summer brings vibrant rhododendrons, roses, and peonies, while autumn delights with colorful dahlia displays. To make the visit even more special, step inside the Tropical Butterfly House, where dozens of exotic butterflies glide among lush palms, orchids, and banana trees.

See Riga from above on the RISE Observation Wheel. Reaching 65 meters, it reveals panoramic views of rooftops, bridges, and the Daugava River—a unique way to experience the city from a new perspective.

Wander through Ķīpsala, where beautifully preserved 19th-century wooden houses line cobbled streets along the river. Once home to fishermen and craftsmen, today the island is a peaceful retreat with unforgettable sunset views across the Daugava.

Kalnciema Quarter is a restored 19th-century wooden ensemble that blends historic charm with a modern creative spirit.
