Riga Sightseeing

A third of Latvians live in the country's capital city, Riga, which is also the largest city of the Baltic States. The city is split in two by the Daugava River. It's historical centre, known as Old Town, on the east side of the river, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Further out from the river, to the west of Old Town you can find the cities Art Nouveau District. While a visit to the western side of the city includes sights such as Victory Park and the Holy Trinity Church.

Hop-on Hop-off Riga city tour

The hop-on hop-off bus from Riga City Tour will take you to both sides of the city, all the way from the Kalnciema Market in the west to the Dailes Theater in the east. Along the way you can enjoy the audio guided city tour about Riga and all that you see outside the red bus. 

City sightseeing in Riga means journeying through the past and into the future. The Riga sightseeing bus tour will take you to the zeppelin hangars of the Central Market around Old Town, with its many historic churches and lively city squares, and across two of the city's main bridges to reach the different parts of the city.

Hidden gems

Because the Riga city sightseeing tour takes you beyond the sights and sounds of the city's Old Town, you can discover the hidden gems of the city which you otherwise might miss. Such as the Botanical Gardens, the city canal (Pilsētas Kanāls) which separates Old Town from New Riga, and Esplanade Park which is home to the Latvian National Museum of Art and the Orthodox Cathedral.

It is up to you to decide where you want to hop-on and where you want to hop-off to discover the sights of Riga up close. Whenever you are done exploring you can just hop back on the next red bus that drives along the route.

Ct man and teen allegedly carjack an uber at gunpoint then rob a pawn shop, uncategorized, cancer patient dragged by new york city bus, partially paralyzed, awarded $72.5 million in lawsuit.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Florida woman who says she was struck and dragged by a New York City bus and left partially paralyzed has been awarded $72.5 million in her lawsuit against the city’s transit agency.

A city jury found in favor of Aurora Beauchamp, now 68, who was hit by a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in March 2017. She was crossing a street in a crosswalk when she was struck by a bus making a right turn and dragged under it for about 20 feet (6 meters).

Beauchamp, who grew up near the accident scene and now lives in Bradenton, Florida, had severe pelvis injuries and her left leg was left paralyzed. She told the New York Post on Saturday that she was on her way to her mother’s apartment to discuss her uterine cancer diagnosis when she was struck.

“I’ve crossed that street 100 million times in my lifetime,” she said. “I was feeling good. The next thing I know I’m under the bus fighting for my life.”

A six-person jury deliberated less than three hours before reaching its verdict Feb. 22. Beauchamp’s lawyers said the verdict amount appears to be one of the largest over an MTA bus accident.

The MTA intends to appeal, spokesperson Tim Minton told WPIX-TV, which first reported the judgment.

“This is another indication of how excessive awards in personal injury litigation impact funding that otherwise could be available to deliver transit service,” he said.

The driver of the bus that struck Beauchamp pleaded guilty to failing to yield to a pedestrian, the Post reported.

A Supreme Court decision could come as soon as Monday in the case about whether former President Donald Trump can be kicked off the ballot over his efforts to undo his defeat in the 2020 election. Trump is challenging a groundbreaking decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said he's disqualified from being president again and ineligible for the state’s primary, which is Tuesday. The resolution of the case on Monday, a day before Super Tuesday contests in 16 states, would remove uncertainty about whether votes for Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president, will ultimately count. Both sides had requested fast work by the court, which heard arguments less than a month ago, on Feb. 8.
