Riga Off the Postcard
The experience
About this quest
Explore the Riga most tourists never see — from the Central Market and Spīķeri warehouses to the historic streets of Maskačka. Discover hidden synagogues, colourful churches, former cemeteries, neighbourhood legends and traces of Riga’s complex past.
Cross the railway and leave the postcard sights behind. Solve visual challenges, uncover surprising stories and experience a side of Riga that even many visitors to the city never discover.
What makes this quest special

Walk from Riga Central Market and Spīķeri into Maskačka, far beyond the usual tourist trail. Follow Marta through hidden synagogues, the former Riga Ghetto, colourful churches, cemetery-turned-parks and legendary 1990s streets.
Solve clues and uncover the stories of Riga that rarely makes it onto postcards.
