Discover Riga Bike Tour

Our Daily Bike Tours explore the historic suburbs of Riga, covering the most interesting sections of Riga. The bike tour rides along the river before entering the Moscow district. The area which became the Jewish ghetto during WWII is one of the most interesting areas in Riga. We then explore the trendy Central district to find some nice bars and cafes and street art. These tours ride off the tourist route, showing a different, more realistic side of Riga, from the comfortable saddle of a city bike.
