When the usual places of rest no longer surprise and delight, it's time to try something new! A boat trip on the Riga Canal and the Daugava River can be one of those options that will bring pleasant emotions, knowledge and memories to everyone who becomes a Rigabycanal passenger.
When was the last time you went on a boat trip? And a boat trip on the Riga Canal? The Rigabycanla water tourism project has been offering boat trips for several years, starting the tourist season with the arrival of the warm and spring weather and ending it only when the golden autumn has already said goodbye to the city.
"Rigabycanal offers cruises on the historic boat Darling, which can accommodate up to thirteen people, or on the quiet and safe ECO boats Rebecca, Maria and Laima, which can accommodate up to nineteen passengers.
Once you have chosen one of the boats, all you have to do is climb aboard to enjoy a one-hour cruise along the city canal and the Daugava River. The cruise will give you a completely different feeling and unprecedented sights, which will not be the same when you choose a different mode and means of transport.
A boat trip with Rigabycanal gives you the opportunity to go alone or with your family, friends or colleagues. Cruises are organised for groups of tourists and for individuals - just for your company, who can celebrate a special day during a short trip. Bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, school graduations, birthday parties or romantic dates - a boat trip can turn these events into a real celebration on the water!
"Darling", "Rebeka", "Maria" and "Laima" will be waiting for their passengers in the very centre of the city, near the Freedom Monument - at Bastejkalns pier. The first attraction at the start of the journey will also be the Freedom Monument, which is just 100 metres from the pier. After seeing the symbol of freedom of the Latvian people, you will see other outstanding architectural gems - the Latvian National Opera, the Central Market, the Latvian National Library, the Riga Castle and the Latvian National Theatre.
Apart from the historic and culturally rich buildings, the boat trip will reveal unprecedented views of the city's bridges and the Old Town skyline, as stated on the Latvian tourism website, www.latvia.travel.lvpreserves the features of each century, creating a heritage that harmonises with modern life.
Discover new ways of recreation and entertainment that will enrich not only your experience, but also your knowledge. A boat trip is a choice not only for those who have come to see Riga from far away lands, but also for those who call this city home. Take a little trip around Riga with us!
