Bastion Hill

  Bastion Hill sits in the heart of Riga, adjacent to the historic Old City and the National Theatre. This park, established in the 1850s, was created from the remnants of the city’s fortifications, providing a glimpse into Riga's military past. The main feature of Bastion Hill is its picturesque landscaped gardens that span approximately 6.7 hectares, offering a leisurely space for both locals and visitors year-round. In June, the park is particularly vibrant with blooming flowers and lush greenery, making it a great spot for a serene stroll. Visitors can enjoy diverse flora, several tranquil ponds, and even observe swans gracefully gliding on the water.
