Begin your journey at Jēkaba Barracks and the Powder Tower (Pulvertornis), continuing past the Freedom Monument, Livu Square, the Bremen Musicians statue, and Konventa Sēta. See Town Hall Square and the special bronze plaque where, standing in the right spot, you can view the towers of three churches at once.

Of course, the route also includes Dome Square, Riga Cathedral, and many other impressive highlights of Old Town. If needed, the driver can briefly stop for photos. The audio guide is in English and played through a speaker.
