Bastejkalns Park

Bastejkalns Park is a central green space in Riga, stretching along the city canal between the Old Town and the Freedom Monument. Landscaped in the 19th century on former city fortifications, it combines tidy paths, flowerbeds, small bridges, and water views with easy access to major sights. Visitors come for a relaxed walk, canal boat rides, and a quieter perspective on the historic center. It is a good stop if you want a short break from sightseeing without leaving the heart of the city.
