En bici de Riga a Mārupe

This relaxing ride takes you from the heart of Riga—Latvia’s vibrant capital—down to the leafy suburb of Mārupe. It’s an easy spin at just under 11 km, with most of the route on quiet, paved roads and well-maintained cycleways, so you won’t have to dodge much traffic. There’s a sprinkle of classic Riga cobblestone to keep things interesting, but the majority of your ride will be smooth asphalt.

Enjoy the flat terrain (no serious hills here!), giving you plenty of time to admire Riga’s stylish mix of Art Nouveau and modern buildings before cruising toward Mārupe. Mārupe is a laid-back residential area known for its green spaces and family-friendly vibe—a great spot for a post-ride picnic or coffee.

Whether you’re commuting or just out for a leisurely pedal, this route lets you transition from city buzz to suburban calm with minimal stress. Don’t forget to check out the views of the old city as you leave Riga—especially pretty in the morning or late afternoon!
