Are you curious about exploring local folk music and instruments all around the world? Then this workshop is for you! I will introduce you to the kokle, a Latvian traditional string instrument. Latvians have a saying that the kokle is given to us by God, but the bagpipes - by the Devil. It will take only a few seconds to understand why we say that. I can assure you that the kokle has one of the purest, most magical, and calming sounds among all the instruments you have ever heard, and you will have an opportunity to lure out some ancient melodies from the kokle by yourself. We will meet at the entrance of the Ethnographic Open-Air Museum of Latvia. In the beginning, I will provide you with a short background of the kokle history and different types of this instrument. Then the magical sounds of the kokle will cast a spell on you while I play a few songs. But later - it will be your turn to play! I will teach you the basics of the kokle and up to three simple, but beautiful Latvian folk songs. Do not worry, you do not need to have any previous experience in playing music, although the ability to read sheet notes would be useful (but is not required). After the kokle workshop, you can explore the museum on your own, have a picnic next to the lake, or simply enjoy the pine forest. The workshop takes place outdoors, please, dress according to the weather.

Would you like to explore the beauty of Latvian nature, richness of cultural heritage and to try out some local food? Then this Airbnb Experience is for you! I have an exciting adventure in mind – a 15 km long hiking tour in Sigulda, also known as the Switzerland of Latvia, and a picnic with local goods and wonderful scenery. Sigulda, once known as a summer resort, is famous for countless hiking trails that go up and down the banks of the Gauja River, romantic castles and manors, some of the most scenic landscapes in Latvia, impressive sandstone outcrops and the largest cave in the Baltics. On this hiking tour you will have a chance to see it all: lovely hiking paths through the woods, Emperor’s View, Devil’s Rock, Pikene Cliff, Krimulda Manor and Medieval Castle Ruins, Gutman’s Cave, Sigulda Medieval Castle Ruins and New Castle. During the picnic you will have an opportunity to try out some homemade Latvian food and get to know the culture via your taste buds. The hiking trail is well-established, but it requires rather good physical shape as it involves a lot of climbing up and down. The hike takes about five to six hours. We will meet in front of the Origo Clock (Riga Central Station) and take a train to Sigulda together. And then – the adventure will begin! When booking the hike, please, let me know if you have any special dietary needs for Latvian food tasting!

Our walking tour will lead us through Old Riga to the “Art Nouveau” district which features the creations of the most controversial Architect: Mikhail Eisenstein. Decorated with various symbols and mythological characters, each building tells us a different story. Scary lions and screaming men's masks side by side with contemplative women’s faces, mysterious sphinxes, delicately carved flowers, birds and animals, … it is easy to get lost in such an abundance of images. This tour is available in these languages: English, German, Latvian, Russian. Tour ends in Alberta street.

Enjoy the mysterious charm of Old Riga! During the tour we will see the most important cultural and historical highlights of Old Riga – the Town Hall Square, St. Peter’s Church, Convent Yard, St. John’s Church and St. John’s Yard, Liv Square, Riga Cathedral, the residential house complex “The Three Brothers”, St.Jacob’s Church. There are also a lot of luxurious Art Nouveau buildings in Old Riga, once inhabited by the richest and most influential residents of Riga.

First, you will smell the car–the symbol of the USSR auto industry, made in 1973 and still driven in post-Soviet countries today (though a rare sight in Riga). The tour starts in the city center, next to the spectacular modernist / semi-brutalist Daile theatre. Next, we will ride across the river Daugava to the left bank where we will explore small streets and stop to look at modernist architectural pearls. The tour will take us into Riga's suburbs, where “real life happens”, but don’t worry–Riga is a safe and lovely city! Along the way Ance, a friendly and knowledgeable local, will share the history of the neighborhoods and buildings visited. The tour is approximately 40 km long and we will visit 7 buildings, each with its individual history and a story about its use today. The tour will end where it began, on Brivibas (Freedom) street, where you are free to go! Or, Ance can point you to an authentic “post-modern” 90s-style canteen next to the end point. In special instances, the tour may be available mid-day on weekdays. Please contact the host to learn about this booking. Few things to note - The backseat of the car does not have seatbelts (per original 1973 design). - The space inside the car is not big, but very open and the 360 degree panorama view is fantastic!
