September, October and early November are the months when Latvians choose to spend their free time away from home. Before the season of heating, hot teas and comfy sofas, everyone is rushing to enjoy what nature has to offer, watching the autumn leaves fall overhead.
Sigulda, Cēsis and other picturesque and leafy Latvian towns are the most popular destinations for holiday trips. With people's minds on what to do in autumn, traffic jams and long queues form both on the way to these cities and at their most popular autumn attractions.
Instead of queuing for a cable car ride over the Gauja valley, or mythologising the well-known park trails, opt for a boat trip on the Riga Canal! Welcome autumn in Riga without the mad rush of people and be one of those who combine enjoying the splendour of nature with getting to know the capital better! In search of the most autumnal autumn, take a look at what Riga has to offer!
Autumn is the time when many entertainment venues close down for a rest and meet their customers again after the long winter season in spring. But autumn entertainment options in Riga are still wide-ranging. But before you start visiting the cinemas, bowling alleys and nightclubs, take a Rigabycanal boat trip on the Riga Canal and the Daugava River!
For several years now, the Rigabycanal water transport and excursion tourism project has been offering boat trips along the Riga Canal and the Daugava River. „Rigabycanal organises individual or group trips on the Darling or Maria cruise boats, with a maximum of eight to thirteen passengers on board. The Rebecca and Laima, on the other hand, are passenger ships that can accommodate a larger number of passengers - up to seventeen or nineteen people.
The most popular sights in the city - the Latvian National Theatre, Riga Castle, the Latvian National Library, the Latvian National Opera, the Freedom Monument and many other must-sees for every resident and visitor - will be on view during the cruise along the Riga Canal and the Daugava River.
And you can't imagine a trip without a chance to see the picturesque Old Riga skyline.
On the tourism website inyourpocket.com, it is said that it would take several days to see everything the Old Town has to offer. Indeed, exploring the Old Town is a time-consuming process, but if you're short on time, an hour's ride on the Rigabycanal boat will give you a glimpse of what the Old Town has to offer, and from an unusual point of view!
Riga's cityscapes are not only a delight in the warmer months of the year, they are also popular with the tourist crowds, no matter what the thermometer says or what shades the city's parks and lawns are painted in. Autumn is the time when Riga's cultural life doesn't stop and continues to offer endless entertainment opportunities! Find the most autumnal autumn here - welcome autumn in Riga!
Take the most autumnal boat trip until 6 pm, when the last boat of the day departs from Bastejkalns pier. Welcome autumn in Riga with Rigabycanal.
