Our tour takes you to Dam Square, the city's cradle, where you can marvel at the New Church, King’s Palace, National Monument, Madame Tussaud Museum, and Hotel Krasnopolski. Learn about the Royal Palace, formerly a 17th-century city hall and supported by a staggering 13,659 wooden poles, and marvel at the New Church, a 15th-century structure still serving as the venue for Royal weddings and coronations.
