Riga, the capital of Latvia, is one of the Baltic region’s most captivating destinations. The city harmoniously blends medieval architecture, Art Nouveau masterpieces, riverfront views, and a thriving food and art culture. For groups visiting Riga, traveling between Old Town, the Central Market, and the city’s outskirts can be challenging, especially when navigating narrow cobblestone streets or coordinating multiple taxis. The best solution is a private bus rental that lets you explore the city in comfort and on schedule. Whether you are part of a sightseeing tour, school group, family gathering, or business delegation, having your own bus with a professional driver makes every moment seamless. Experience Riga’s architectural beauty, cultural richness, and vibrant atmosphere without the stress of managing transport, just sit back, relax, and let the city unfold before you.

Why Choose a Private Bus in Riga
  • Convenience and flexibility: A private bus allows your group to move freely across the city without worrying about multiple pickups, public transport schedules, or parking issues. You can plan a custom itinerary and travel at your own pace.
  • Stay connected as a group: Group travel in Riga is ideal for families, student trips, and tour operators. With a private bus, everyone stays together, eliminating the risk of people getting separated or delayed.
  • Comfort and modern features: Our buses offer air conditioning, reclining seats, Wi Fi, and luggage compartments so passengers remain comfortable throughout the trip.

Old Town (Vecrīga)
Begin your city adventure in the UNESCO listed Old Town, where cobblestone streets lead to historical landmarks such as Riga Cathedral and St. Peter’s Church.

House of the Blackheads
Located in the heart of Old Town, this restored 14th century building is one of Riga’s most photographed sites. Once the meeting place for unmarried merchants, it now serves as a museum showcasing the city’s Hanseatic history.

Art Nouveau District (Alberta iela & Elizabetes iela)
Riga is known as Europe’s Art Nouveau capital, with over 800 architectural examples. Alberta Street features stunning façades, ornate sculptures, and intricate designs by architect Mikhail Eisenstein. This district is a must see for art and architecture lovers.

A national symbol of independence, the Freedom Monument stands between Old Town and the city center. The surrounding park offers quiet greenery, bridges, and walking paths that make for a peaceful break between stops.
