Cheap hotels in Old Town, Riga

The "Old Town" is the medieval heart of Riga, a maze of winding cobblestone streets, stony churches and public squares. Most of the city’s main tourist sights are located inside the Old Town, including the Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, House of the Blackheads, Parliament and the city’s Castle.

The Old Town is unsurprisingly also home to a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. We focused our hotel hunting here, as this is the middle of the action. During peak summer months, the streets will be noisy with nighttime revelers, so light sleepers may wish to ask for rooms off the street—or book a room in another neighborhood.
