Accessible Tours in Riga & Latvia

I offer accessible tours in Riga and Latvia designed for travellers with limited mobility, including wheelchair-friendly routes, adapted transport, and flexible itineraries. 

My Old Town of Riga, Art Nouveau Riga and Soviet history tours of Riga, as well as the Jūrmala Walking Tour, are available for wheelchair access. Routes and pricing can vary.

For travellers with partial mobility, I provide transport in a comfortable station wagon that can accommodate a foldable wheelchair or walker. It has plenty of legroom for four passengers.

For full wheelchair access, I partner with specialist Santa Beitāne from Difftravel, who drives a fully adapted vehicle with ramp access. The vehicle is a Renault van with seven passenger seats and a wheelchair space in the back.

We can arrange shipside pick up and return for cruise passengers. Please note this service requires a permit from Riga Passenger Terminal and an additional fee applies.

We can also meet at the passenger terminal gate then make a short journey to the parking lot for no extra charge. The total distance is about 200 metres. 

Riga is becoming increasingly accessible for wheelchair users, with improved transport, museums and public spaces, making it one of the most accessible cities in the Baltics..

Riga International Airport is fully accessible for tours in Latvia, with broad aisles, a lift between floors and accessible toilets.

For wheelchair accessible Riga travel, Red Cab provides taxis for disabled persons.

Riga buses are wheelchair accessible, with low floors and parking areas. Trams/streetcars vary depending on route and vehicle type, with some routes equipped with modern low-floor vehicles and others with aged Soviet ones. See Riga Public Transport for more details.

Latvia's national railway operator ViVi has recently introduced modern trains with space for wheelchairs. However, not all stations have level platforms. Riga Central Station is particularly difficult to access.

The most popular areas of Old Riga can be explored on the sidewalk with an electric wheelchair or a manual wheelchair with an assistant. In some places high kerbs or outdoor cafe furniture are a hindrance. The road surface is entirely made of cobble stones and pavers, causing difficulty in places.

Riga's Art Nouveau district has wide, level pavements making it very comfortable to view the stunning buildings.

Jūrmala's streets, especially pedestrian Jomas iela, are wide and level for comfortable wheelchair access. There is a boardwalk along the beach from Dzintari to Majori.

The following Riga museums are accessible: Riga Art Nouveau Museum, the National Art Museum of Latvia, the Riga Bourse Museum of Foreign Art, the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
