About the district

Vecrīga is a living open-air museum. Main attractions are here: Dome Cathedral, St. Peter's Church, Town Hall Square.

Living here is a unique experience but not very practical. Tourist noise, no parking, and few supermarkets make the area challenging for everyday life.

The Old Town is better suited for short-term rentals or those willing to pay for the historic center atmosphere.
