Revelry in Riga

If you’re not one to laze around, even when you’re on a vacation, then Latvia is the ideal travel destination for you. Adventure sports are the mark of any exhilarating vacation, and Riga and its neighbours, Sigulda and Jurmala, have much to offer in this respect. With one-third of the country’s population living in the capital city, Riga is the centre of all things fun in Latvia.

Get your pulse racing

The outstandingly professional indoor karting track in Riga will make you feel like you are competing in the Grand Prix itself. Think you’ve had enough of driving cars? Get ready to experience thrills like never before! Indulge in exclusive sports racing buggies, bobsleighs and quad bikes. Riga boasts large hills which are excellent for learning and practicing the art of snow-boarding and skiing.

Dive head-first into the fun

Break free from the holds of gravity as you fly through the vertical wind tunnel, Aerodium. Feel the blood rush to your brain and the butterflies in your stomach as you jump off an airplane in the Tandem skydive, or off a cable car in Gauja National Park, Sigulda.

Water fun

To escape the concrete jungles, canoe down River Gauja and enjoy the dense forests and sheer cliffs of the Latvian landscape. When exhaustion begins to set in, you can move to Livu Water Park in Jurmala, one of the best in northern Europe. You could also opt for a bath or a massage at the water relaxation spa.

Paintball and big gun shooting are perfect for large tourist groups. People looking for a quieter sport can enjoy a game of golf on Riga’s stunning, 18-hole, golf course. If action and adventure are not your game, Riga also features breathtaking churches, Art Nouveau buildings, cosy cafes and parks, an abundant nightlife, and various shopping centres. In a city as splendid as Riga, there is fun for everyone!
