Freedom Monument (Brīvības piemineklis), Riga

Highlight • Monument

The 42 meter high Freedom Monument is the symbol of Riga. It was built during the first Latvian independence in the early 1930s and symbolizes the three Latvian regions of that time with the three stars. The statue faces west, which can be taken as a clear sign.

Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, Riga

Highlight • Religious Site

Nativity Cathedral, Riga.

The Nativity of Christ Cathedral (Latvian: Kristus Piedzimšanas pareizticīgo katedrāle, Russian: Христорождественский кафедральный собор), Riga, Latvia was built to a design by Nikolai Chagin and Robert Pflug in a Neo-Byzantine style between 1876 and 1883, with decorations made by the firm of August Volz, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. It is the largest Orthodox cathedral in the Baltic provinces built with the blessing of the Russian Tsar Alexander II on the initiative of local governor-general Pyotr Bagration and bishop Veniamin Karelin. The Nativity of Christ Cathedral is renowned for its icons, some of which were painted by Vasili Vereshchagin. During the First World War German troops occupied Riga and turned its largest Russian Orthodox cathedral into a Lutheran church. In independent Latvia, the Nativity of Christ Cathedral once again became an Orthodox cathedral in 1921. Archbishop Jānis Pommers, a native Latvian, played a key part in the defence of the cathedral, including defence from the Latvian government which was extremely unfriendly to Orthodox Church in the first years of an independent Latvia. In the early 1960s, Soviet authorities closed down the cathedral and converted its building into a planetarium. The cathedral has been restored since Latvia regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.

Riga–Jurmala Cycle Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Highly recommended is a drive along the beach. The sandy soil is in fact easily navigable by its strength with bicycles. In the direction of Jaundubulti you pass breathtaking historic wooden houses from the 19th century.
