Discover Riga’s Old Town in a new way! This self-guided tour leads you through iconic sights and hidden corners — while your walk secretly creates a cat-shaped route on the map.

Cats have become an informal symbol of Riga, appearing in architecture, art, souvenirs — and even starring in Latvia’s first Oscar-winning animation. Let the city’s playful cat guide your footsteps as you uncover history, stories, and local surprises.

Follow clues, listen to short audio, and complete fun tasks at each stop. Visit the Powder Tower, Town Hall Square, St. James’s Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, and more — plus hidden gems off the usual tourist path.

Unlock five local tips, including a free-entry museum, a cozy café, and a rooftop terrace with great views. Explore at your own pace — all from your smartphone.
