Excursión ciclista de un día de Riga a Berģi

This relaxed ride takes you from the heart of Riga up to Berģi, skirting the city’s vibrant center before heading north through parks and leafy suburbs. Covering about 21 km, the route is mostly on smooth, paved surfaces and dedicated cycleways—perfect for an easy cruise without too many bumps. The ascent is gentle too, so it’s friendly for most riders.

You’ll catch glimpses of the Daugava River and pass neighborhoods where old wooden houses meet modern apartments. Roll through quiet streets and even pedal along some charming stretches of paving stones as you leave central Riga behind. Berģi welcomes you at the edge of Jugla Lake, famous for its open-air Ethnographic Museum that showcases Latvian rural heritage.

It’s a fun blend of urban cycling with a taste of nature at the finish. Don’t forget to grab a snack by the lake or explore the museum if you’ve got time!
