Latvia - Riga

Swedish Gate (Zviedru vārti) and restaurant


Address: Torņa iela 4-1a, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1050, Latvia


The Swedish Gate is the only remaining gate from Riga's city wall, dating back to 1698 during the period of Swedish rule. Located in the Old Town, it features a charming archway and historical architecture. Legends surround the gate, including tales of a young woman who lit candles in the windows for her lover. Nearby, you can find a restaurant where you can try the famous borsch. This is a must-stop for history lovers and foodies alike.

About

@annaberkova

✨ Born and raised in Riga, I’ve explored nearly every museum here and many others across Latvia. My passion for travel began early, and so far, I've journeyed through 20 countries—16 across Europe and 4 in Asia. I’ve also studied in Athens and had a stint living in the UK, adding to my love for exploring new places and cultures. Some of my favorite destinations are South Korea, China, Singapore, Thailand, and the UK. Seoul especially has my heart! 🥰
