THE SOUL OF RIGA
THE SOUL OF RIGA
Port of Steel
History and Facts
The Port of Riga remains a vital artery of the city’s economy and identity — cranes rising over the water like industrial monuments. From medieval trade routes to the rapid expansion of the 19th century, the port has continually reshaped Riga’s shoreline and modern life.

Interesting Fact
Several quay lines, warehouses, and port zones were established in the late 1800s during Riga’s industrial boom, and parts of that historic infrastructure are still in use or have been adapted for today’s harbor functions.
