For several years, the Rigabycanal water transport and sightseeing tourism project has been offering boat trips in Riga. Passengers are taken on canal boats for both individual and group trips along the city canals and the Daugava River.
"The Rigabycanal boat dock is located in the centre of the capital, on Bastej Hill. Bastejkalns has been nominated as one of the most romantic places in the centre of Riga, where a special atmosphere is created both in summer and winter. Just 100 metres from the Freedom Monument, you will not only find a romantic atmosphere, but also one of the Rigabycanal canal boats.
A boat adventure in Riga can start on one of the four canal boats of the Rigabycanal. Choose your favourite - the 1907 Art Nouveau "Darling", which can accommodate up to thirteen passengers, or take a trip on one of the ECO boats - the "Maria", with a maximum of eight passengers, the "Rebeka" with a maximum of seventeen passengers on board, or the new Latvian-built "Laima", for up to seventeen passengers.
The cruise lasts one hour - in one hour, a wide route is covered, richly covered with the most popular sights and "pearls" of Riga. "The Rigabycanal itinerary mostly includes sights in the Old Town, but during the boat cruise, the left bank of the Daugava River will also be on view.
"Rigabycanal's specially equipped Bastejkalns boat dock will reveal a view of the Freedom Monument right from the start of the trip, surely one of the city's best-known sights. The route will continue with no less remarkable buildings - the Latvian National Opera, the Central Market, the Spīķeri Quarter, the Latvian National Library, the Riga Castle and the Latvian National Theatre. During the ride, everyone will witness the picturesque panorama of Old Riga and the green parks and greenery of the city.
"The Rigabycanal boat adventure in Riga is available in good weather conditions for water tourism. If the wind speed increases to 18-20 metres per second, the boats will not operate. The boats will also rest in case of heavy rain and high water levels.
Cruises start in early spring. The length of the cruise season depends on the weather conditions in autumn. For example, thanks to the warm leaf season in 2014, boat trips were organised until 20 November.
A boat adventure in Riga - enjoy the warm season and start collecting pleasant emotions and memories for winter! Bridges, the city's picturesque architecture and industrial environment - see the city from a different, unusual angle to fill in the gaps in your knowledge,
