By foot in Riga


By foot in Riga

Streets are mostly asphalt, with Old town and some random streets being cobblestone; some smaller streets outside the city center may be unpaved. Sidewalks are predominantly asphalt everywhere. Riga's Old town is best explored on foot, especially since it is not very large and cars are not allowed anyway. Cobblestones, where present, are round rather than flat, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Be advised that due to the neglected drainage system, there have been around 2-3 times last year, when especially heavy downpours have caused a couple of central streets to be flooded approximately to ankle level for several hours each time.
