St. Peter's Church, Riga

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Peter's Church, often called the highest point of the city, is one of the oldest and most valuable buildings of medieval monumental architecture in the Baltic States. Built in 1209, but from the 13th century, only the outer walls of the aisles of the current building and some pillars in the interior have been preserved.

Bastejkalns Park

Narrow paths, avenues, rock gardens, waterfalls: the Basteiberg (“Bastejkalns”) is one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Riga and made for a stroll. The park has been a feast for the eyes and soul for more than a hundred years.

Riga Central Market

Highlight • Monument

The buildings, which today serve as market halls and have become a characteristic part of the Riga cityscape, were originally built in Kurzeme (Kurland), where they were used as zeppelin hangars by the German army in Vaiņode. Concrete cellars were built underneath the halls, forming a two-hectare underground city with a total of 337-meter-long corridors. Riga Central Market survived the reintroduction of capitalism and is now flourishing again. It gathers all kinds of people in the most colorful place in the city, where you can buy almost anything, but above all healthy, tasty, colorful and diverse products from the Latvian provinces.

In 1997 the market area was added to the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage together with the old town of Riga.
