Overview

The history of the Jews of Riga is very rich and significant. Much of this heritage can still be seen today. In three hours with an experienced guide, both by car and on foot, it is possible to visit important places and receive information in a very concentrated way, but at the same time easily and comprehensibly. Please be informed on Shabbat and other Jewish religious holidays, the Synagogue and the Riga Ghetto Museum are closed. The duration of the tour depends on the intensity of the traffic on the street.
