See Riga beyond the cobbles on a guided bike tour that combines Old Town landmarks, Art Nouveau streets, and neighborhood discoveries. This two-hour ride is flat, safe, and led by guides using headsets and reflective vests.

You push off from a city square and the cobbles give way to broad, flat streets; the Daugava river pulls your eye westward, daring you to cross its bridges and see Riga from a different angle. The guide clips a headset to your ear, fits a reflective vest, and the group slips into a steady rhythm — this is city cycling with local context and safety at the fore.
