How many days in Riga?

One day covers the essentials that lie close together.

Brīvības piemineklis · Svētā Pētera baznīca · Melngalvju nams · Trīs brāļi · Svētā Jēkaba katedrāle · Rīgas Pils

A second day lets you go beyond the very centre.

Rīgas Jaunā Svētās Ģertrūdes baznīca · Svētā Pāvila baznīca · Rīgas Lielie kapi · Māte Latvija · Rīgas Nacionālais Zooloģiskais dārzs

Three days are comfortable — enough for museums and places further out.

Torņakalna baznīca · LU Botāniskais Dārzs

An account lets you save the plan, change it and tick things off as you go.

We measured walking times to the main sights from different parts of the city. From the area below you reach them in 5 min on average, 10 min at the furthest, and 8 of them are within walking distance.

• Svētā Pētera baznīca (171 m)
• Melngalvju nams (224 m)

For comparison: from the worst-placed area it is 11 min on average to the same places.
