Walking Tours
A number of companies offer walking tours of Riga, which can be booked at the main tourist office in the old town. However, a self-guided walking tour is probably the best bet. A good place to start a walk is at the Occupation Museum on Kalku iela, before heading into the old town. The majority of the sights in Old Riga are located on or near Skanu iela (the second right turn after the Occupation Museum), including St John's Church and St Peter's Church. Almost all of the main sights are located within a compact area in the old town.

Other companies offering bus tours include Riga City Sightseeing (tel: 2824 3200; website: www.riga-sightseeing.lv) and Riga Travel Agency (tel: 6722 5529; website: www.rta.lv).
