Meeting Point
Laima Clock
Laima Clock
We will start our itinerary by the iconic Laima Clock, an early XXth century landmark of central Riga that has become the meeting point for both tourists and locals alike. Here we'll take our welcoming pictures of the photoshoot. On the way to the Freedom Square, we'll stop at the Latvian National Opera to admire its neoclassical XIX century facade and take more pictures around its beautiful gardens and iconic Fountain Nymph.
Freedom Monument
A memorial for the victims of the Latvian War of Independence, this 42m obelisk presiding the Freedom Square represents the struggle of the Latvian people to achieve their national freedom on 1919. Here we'll take more travel pictures, using the impressive monument as a great symbolical background.
Park of the Bastion Hill
This charming XIX century park built in a true Parisian style is an ideal location where to take some of the most romantic pictures of the photoshoot near the Riga's canal. We will be passing by beautiful sights like a romantic stone bridge with padlocks and a golden sculpture of a little pony before heading out towards the Old Town.
Jacob's Barracks
We'll walk along the Jacob's Barracks by contemplating the monumental Powder Tower (the most significant heritage from Riga's defensive wall) until the iconic Swedish Gate, where we will take more fun pictures surrounded by true medieval vibe. From there we'll continue our way along cobblestone streets towards the Latvian Parliament.
Parliament of Latvia & Three Brothers
The main political institution in Latvia and seat of its Constitutional Assembly is a mixture of a neoclassical and modernist architecture that deserves to be seen. Afterwards, we'll continue to admire the Three Brothers Houses (the oldest residential complex in Riga dating back from the medieval times), where we will capture more snaps in front of their majestic facades.
Cathedral Square
Dating back from the XIII century, the monumental cathedral that presides the square is an architectonical gem that highlights the best UNESCO heritage in the Old Town of Riga. A great scenic location where to take more travel pictures while continuing our adventure in the historical Latvian capital.
House of the Black Heads & St. Peter's Church
We'll arrive at the Old Town Square (Ratslaukums) to marvel at the famous House of the Black Heads, the most iconic landmark in Riga Old Town and house of the most important events in the city. A majestic building with an ornamented facade built in the most sophisticated Art Noveau style. Here we will take more creative pictures with the iconic sights before finishing our itinerary in front of the epic St Peter's Church nearby, a colossal 136m church with an impressive bell tower that has witnessed the city's history since the XIII century.
