Quick take

  • Day 3 is a ‘texture day’: local neighborhood + slower pace.
  • Use markets and cafés as anchors so you don’t spend the day deciding.
  • Keep the trip sustainable: one big activity per day is enough.

Day 3: Āgenskalns (local-feel) + easy evening

If you have three days, use the third to see Riga outside the classic loop. Āgenskalns is a great choice for a slower, everyday-city vibe.
