TOURS TO EXPLORE LATVIA WITH ANDRA.
Visit Latvia, Offer n° 7 :
RIGA & ETHNOGRAPHIC OPEN-AIR MUSEUM
DURATION: 6H
Offer description :
Begin your day with a walking tour, exploring the charms of Riga's Old Town. After a coffee break or a light lunch, step into your comfortable private car for a 30-minute journey to the Latvian Ethnographic Open-Air Museum. Nestled in a pine forest, on the shores of Lake Jugla, it stands as one of Europe's oldest and largest open-air museums.
Since its establishment in 1924, the museum has gathered 118 historical buildings from across Latvia, representing not only Riga but also all regions: Kurzeme, Vidzeme, Zemgale, and Latgale. The buildings are meticulously arranged to provide visitors with a glimpse into Latvia's rural landscape.
Within the Open-Air Museum, you'll encounter farmsteads of Latvian farmers, craftsmen, and fishermen. Each one houses permanent exhibitions—household and working tools, interior furnishings—depicting the era, the district, and the owner's vocation. Immerse yourself in Latvia's living history through these carefully preserved cultural treasures.
