Wooden Riga on foot - Kipsala

On this tour you will have the opportunity to explore Ķīpsala, a historic fishing village on the bank of the River Daugava. UNESCO has recognized the unique heritage of Riga’s wooden architecture and part of it can be explored on Ķīpsala, the central island of the River Daugava. Several buildings have been restored to their original appearance, some of them have been moved there from the center of Riga to save them from destruction. Ķīpsala is a unique place for a slow walk. You’ll have a stroll along the bank of the Daugava and enjoy the magnificent views of the Old Town, Suspension bridge, Riga Port and other buildings on the right bank of the river.
