Great Cemetery
The Great Cemetery combines a wooded park with historic graves and sculptural monuments. It is a reflective walk through several layers of Riga’s social history.
The surviving tombs and monuments show changing tastes in memorial art across generations, while the large grounds reveal how the city grew around a former edge-of-town burial place. Visit for the atmosphere and details, not a single famous grave, and expect a walk of more than a few minutes.
What to look for
Historic tombs and sculptural monuments stand among the trees.
Tree-lined paths make the cemetery a reflective walk.
Useful to know
Stay on established paths and treat graves as places of remembrance.
Allow time to explore only part of the extensive grounds if your day is full.
